A bad idea
What does he do after he realizes it was his?
Meet Kellan
Curious. Observant. Not Always Sure What to Do Next.
Kellan is the kind of kid who notices things, asks questions, gets ideas, gets some of them wrong, and keeps looking.
Kellan Is Not a Perfect Kid.
He can have a very bad idea. He can forget a promise. He can be afraid to say something. He can think he is too small to matter. He can misunderstand what another person meant.
That is exactly why there are stories to tell about him.
He likes learning when he can look, try, build, test, notice, compare, and figure something out. He dislikes questions that make him feel as though there is one correct answer everybody else already knows.
He also has a dog, which means not every serious moment stays serious for very long.
What keeps showing up in Kellan?
Curiosity. A sense of fairness. Wanting to be useful. Caring when someone is left out. Pride when he figures something out for himself. And enough stubbornness to occasionally make the story more interesting.
