Ten-year-old Novak became a YouTube sensation with his Kid President series, coproduced by actor Rainn Wilson, which encourages positivity and cooperation with funny pep talks and celebrity interviews. He brings the same brand of irrepressible optimism to his first book. Through lists, diatribes, quotes from great thinkers, inspiring profiles, and cartoons, the Kid President team offers 100 suggestions for kids and adults alike to make the world more awesome. Kid President fans will not be disappointed, as corn dogs and dance parties are featured frequently, but even readers with no familiarity with his online persona will find his winsome personality impossible to resist. Plenty of interviews with inspiring young people who are agents of positive change serve as the backbone of the book's message. A dynamic mixed-media layout of photographs, illustrations, and fan submissions punctuate Novak's platform. Even the most ardent cynics will find themselves laughing along with the Kid President's silly but hugely insightful musings.
