Have you ever met a kid who can dream up an entire book, beat you at Mario Kart, and still have time to sink a three-pointer with his grandfather? That’s Jordan, my nine-year-old grandson and the creative genius behind Raining Robots. He’s proof that big imaginations come in small (and very energetic) packages.
The Mind of a Visionary
Jordan’s imagination isn’t just vivid—it’s practically its own galaxy. He doesn’t just think outside the box; he doesn’t even acknowledge the box exists. Whether he’s building Lego cities, tinkering with gadgets to see what makes them tick, or brainstorming the next big superhero story, his mind is always whirring like the inner gears of a robot. (And yes, I’ve checked—he’s not a robot. Just an extremely curious kid!)
When Jordan first came to me with the idea for Raining Robots, he explained it like he was pitching the next Marvel blockbuster. A boy, a robot dog, and the adventure of a lifetime? It was pure gold. He didn’t just have an idea—he had characters, action scenes, and even “rules” for how the book should work. Let’s just say, Jordan doesn’t do anything halfway.
Curious by Nature
Jordan is one of those kids who wants to know how everything works. From toasters to rocket ships, nothing escapes his endless stream of “but why?” He’s a natural engineer in the making, constantly poking, prodding, and occasionally disassembling things (don’t worry, he always puts them back together… most of the time). He believes technology can make the world a better place, and honestly, with his drive, I think he’s on to something.
He’s also fascinated by people and loves to make friends everywhere he goes. Seriously, if you sit next to Jordan for five minutes, you’ll know his life story, and he’ll probably know yours too. His genuine curiosity about the world and people around him is as inspiring as it is contagious.
Balancing His Passions
Now, let’s talk about his hobbies, because Jordan has a lot of them. When he’s not creating worlds in his mind or conquering virtual ones in video games (he may love them just a little too much), he’s busy making music on the piano. He’s surprisingly good for someone who also uses his fingers for button-mashing video game controllers.
And if you think Jordan is all brain and no brawn, think again. He plays hockey with the intensity of someone twice his size and shoots hoops with his grandfather like it’s an Olympic sport. (Spoiler: Grandpa has a mean jump shot, but Jordan’s catching up fast.)
The Heart of a Dreamer
Jordan’s greatest strength isn’t just his imagination or his curiosity—it’s his heart. He truly believes in the power of stories to inspire, entertain, and bring people together. Whether he’s spinning a tale about robot adventures or bonding with friends over a shared laugh, he pours his whole self into everything he does.
So, when you pick up Raining Robots, know that it’s not just a book—it’s a window into Jordan’s world. A world where friendship, bravery, and a robot dog named D.O.G. can make anything possible.
The Future Awaits
What’s next for Jordan? Well, if you ask him, he’s already brainstorming sequels, dreaming up new gadgets, and planning his next big adventure. He’s only nine, but with his imagination and determination, the sky’s the limit. And honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised if he builds a real robot dog someday.
For now, though, he’s just Jordan: a kid with a big heart, a vivid imagination, and an infectious love for life. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. 💙
A Boy and His D.O.G.
