The Inspiration for Chicken Boy

Written by author Gregory G. Allen:

What started out as a story on a napkin in a restaurant while eating with my godson - grew to so much more  thanks to a competition by MeeGenius publishing back in 2012. I wanted to give reason to some of the things my godson does and turned him into a superhero.  Gabe was just starting the third grade when I wrote this book and when he was in the 5th grade, I watched him get on stage and read chicken boy when I was visiting his school. (Photo)  Gabe will always be the reason I wrote the book, but now as he has turned 21 years old,  the series represents all children who know that it's ok to be different…and teach others to not be afraid of someone who may not act exactly like they do.
