Kevin’s books are fun adventures with some serious underlying themes. He explores the challenges faced by first- and second-generation immigrants, and how it feels to be an outsider. He talks about where he finds ideas, how he builds them into stories, and he offers the students a recipe they can follow to create stories and books of their own. Kevin also works with adult audiences, discussing the writing process, the immigrant experience, tolerance and intolerance, and more. He is happy to tailor sessions to any group’s specific needs. |
