"Do you know what the deepest place on the earth is? It's the Mariana Trench..." Kaylan is reading to the children.
16-year-old Kaylan is now a children's book writer. He is crazy about geography. When Kaylan was about three years old, he became interested in geography because of a map. Then he fell in love with reading maps and different books about geography. When Kaylan was in middle school, he won his state's geography competition.
"It is necessary for each of us to learn geography," Kaylan says. "Studying geography helps us have a basic understanding of our world. It allows us to think of ways to deal with the difficulties we face. Kaylan hopes to encourage children to learn more about geography through his new book series (系列). The series is called Kobe's World Adventure and consists of (包括) six books.
The books describe the adventures of a boy named Kobe who travels the world with his family.
Young readers can follow Kobe's adventures to learn geographical facts.
Kaylan has started an organization. Through it, he shares his books with students in poor communities. So far, he has given away about 1, 500 books. And Kaylan often reads to children at the Boys &Girls Club. "I can tell that some of the students that I'm reading to are becoming interested in geography," Kaylan said.
