The Night Owl

When the clock strikes 8:00 pm, bedtime is a must! The Night Owl would rather stay up and find fun in the darkness. How long can the Night Owl keep going before sleep catches up?

The Night Owl tells the story of a young boy who resists falling asleep and finds adventure after the lights are turned out for bedtime. The simple joys of childhood and his robust imagination create a story relatable to people of all ages.

After having a son, Kim was moved to share her love of both reading and writing with him. This inspiration led to the creation of The Night Owl, her first children's book about a sweet little boy trying to evade sleep and Kim's decision to ocus on the creation of stories that are representative of African American children and the diverse perspectives from which they see and experience the world.In January 2021, Kim released her second book, "Meet Frankie Jordan". Presented from the viewpoint of a child, audiences are introduced to an amazing little girl who helps readers understand the importance and necessity of being true to oneself, recognizing the uniqueness in each individual, and accepting each person for who they are. When she is not writing or reading, Kim enjoys spending time with family and friends, advocating for literacy and STEM initiatives, and tinkering with the latest technologies.
