"The Chicago Kidz" series is a fun and educational collection of stories about a diverse group of kids who love to explore their hometown, Chicago. The series starts with "The Envy of the Winds," where the kids try to fly a kite in Grant Park. When the North Wind refuses to blow their kite into the air, the kids' pleas eventually lead all the winds to compete, creating the myth of how Chicago became known as "The Windy City." This fascinating story helps kids understand one of the city's famous nicknames and blustery nature, while they encounter a range of emotions (like envy) and enjoy a thrilling adventure.
In other books, The Chicago Kidz explore the meanings behind the City's other nicknames like "The Second City," "The City That Works," "The City of Big Shoulders," and "The City of Neighborhoods." As the series continues, the Chicago Kidz take their adventures to new cities, comparing and learning about places like New York City, San Francisco, Atlanta, Paris, Beijing, Johannesburg, Mexico City, Rio, Sydney and more. These trips help them understand the similarities and differences between cities and appreciate the unique qualities of each one. Join them on each adventure!
The authors, Ima Kidd (a composite pseudonym), include native Chicagoans, a retired Chicago Public School educator, a therapist, a minister, a poet, a screenwriter, parents and grandparents who enjoy "edutaining" children and adults of all ages.
