CTP (S2EMaySpecial6) Devon Taylor: Children's Books Can Bridge the Parent-Child Connection
Devon Taylor shares his journey from volleyball coach to becoming the parent of four children overnight, and how that experience inspired him to write a children's book "Icarus Finds His Power" to help foster connections between parents and children.
• Originally from Lakewood, California, Devin has been a volleyball coach for most of his life
• Became parent to four nieces and nephews unexpectedly after a call from his mom
• Wrote "Icarus Finds His Power," targeting children ages 8-13, though suitable for all ages
• Created the book to foster connections between parents and children during story time
• Story focuses on a son's relationship with his mother and addresses foster care themes
• Growing up with a single mom influenced Devin's understanding of the importance of male role models
• Contributed a chapter to "Trajectory, Volume 1," a compilation of stories about overcoming tragedy
• Currently working on a sequel and hopes to turn "Icarus Finds His Power" into an animated movie
