"Do you know what the deepest place on Earth is? It's the Mariana Trench (马里亚纳海沟)…" Kaylan is reading to the children.
16-year-old Kaylan is now a children's book writer. He loves 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 a Geography competition.
"It is necessary for each of us to learn Geography," Kaylan says. "Studying Geography helps us have a better understanding of our world. It makes us 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 (历险记) and it has six books. The books tell about a boy named Kobe and he travels the world with his family. Young readers can follow Kobe to learn geographical facts.
Kaylan has started an organization (组织). Through it, he shares his books with students in poor places. 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 kids are becoming interested in Geography. I'm happy with that," Kaylan said.
