He is 11 years old, and he makes videos that millions of people have watched on YouTube that inspire people to help others and be more awesome. In his book, Kid President gives people many great ideas that can help make the world better, and he shares some of his great experiences like meeting celebrities. There are great interviews in the book with celebrities, ordinary kids, and other grown-ups who are doing things to make a difference in the world. This book also tells you more about Robby Novak who was born with a disease called osteogenesis imperfecta. This is brittle bone disease, and he has had over 70 bone breaks or fractures in his life. But, no matter what, he keeps dancing and inspiring other people with his great attitude. Robby has spent much of his young life in hospitals, but he is on a mission to inspire kids and grown-ups to make the world more awesome. I would recommend this book to everyone. “Kid President’s Guide to Being Awesome” is inspiring. Reading it makes you want to do something good for others, so the world will be a better, more awesome place. Also, it makes you hungry for corndogs, which is Kid President’s favorite food! Please read this book and watch the Kid President videos on YouTube. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll probably want to dance – and eat corndogs.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Robby Novak, better known as Kid President, has spent a lot of time trying to make the world more awesome. In this guide, he shares a list of 100 ways that his readers and fans can make the world more awesome too. Fans of his YouTube videos will recognize familiar things like his pep talk, the advice to send a friend a corn dog, and to treat everyone like it’s their birthday. The book also shares some information about how Robby stays positive in spite of his brittle bone condition, a background on some of his videos, select interviews with celebrities and other awesome people making the world more awesome, and lots of images to help show more about the things Robby has done. With so much information on making the world more awesome, everyone can find a way to give the world a reason to dance.
Anyone will come away from this book feeling better about the world and with ideas on how to make the world more awesome. It feels like Kid President’s tone, but Brad also steps in to help provide an adult perspective, background information, and more detail to Robby’s ideas. Some of the ideas are inspiring, some will make you laugh, and some will make you feel like there is something that you can do to make the world awesome and change your life. Part humor, part self-help book, part instruction manual, part it’s own project; this guide to being awesome will help readers of all ages join Kid President’s quest to treat everyone like they are a celebrity, eat more corn dogs, give more high fives, take less selfies and more otherpeoples, and find other ways to make the world more awesome. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was drawn in to this book by the title of the first chapter: “Life is what happens when you put down your phone.” I was also drawn to the book by the author flap, which describes the 11-year-old kid co-author. Robby Novak, known as Kid President on a TV series, has “osteogenesis imperfecta, a brittle bone condition that has resulted in his having more than 70 breaks since birth.” Yet nothing slows him down. Here are the pieces of advice that I enjoyed: “Be less busy and more awesome.” “If it doesn’t make the world better, don’t do it.” “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.” If only we all lived by and embodied those truisms.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very entertaining collection of suggestions for changing the world. Like Kid President's videos, this book is down-to-earth, imaginative and quite funny. Robby (aka Kid President) and his brother-in-law Brad make a great team, enthusiastically sharing their love of corndogs, dancing and other sources of joy and happiness; interviewing both celebrities and lesser-known folk about their good deeds; and having fun just being their goofy selves. Given what a scary, violent place this can be sometimes, we could all use some gentle reminders to be kinder, more generous, and more awesome to the people around us.
