About Joseph Kelley

Nick Rokicki is quickly becoming a beloved name in the world of books for children. His first book, Pete the Popcorn, was released to rave reviews on February 29th, 2012. Why Leap Day? According to Nick, "this country needs to take a huge leap forward when it comes to bullying in our schools. Pete the Popcorn carries a message of children offering encouragement to each other on a daily basis. We believe that the answer to bullying is encouragement--- and this will start with the youngest of children." Nick has visited with over 100,000 children in 25 states, holding motivational assemblies centered around his book titles. Nick Rokicki is a proud product of public schools, having attended Washington Local Schools in Toledo, Ohio. After graduating from high school, he attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts in Southfield, Michigan, where he focused on communications. After completing this education, Rokicki worked at various television and radio stations throughout the midwest before spending nine years traveling the World and gaining inspiration for his collection of stories. Nick is also a proud member of the United Auto Workers. When he isn't visiting schools, Nick Rokicki is building Jeeps at the historical home of the Jeep brand in Toledo, Ohio. "I believe that we are all offered talents and it's our duty to share these talents. If I have to install bolts and bumpers on cars in order to share my positive-message stories with children, that's what it takes," said Rokicki. Other titles in his collection include Clipper the Comet, which celebrates the American autoworker and family traditions. Casey and Callie Cupcake is a Frosted Fable About Being Fantastic Just the Way You Are. The story teaches kids to accept themselves and their friends for who they are on the inside--- and the story takes place inside of a real bakery, Cake in a Cup, a winner of Food Network's Cupcake Wars. First Photo of The Royal Baby was released to rave reviews in the summer of 2013 and teaches children that a simple smile can go a long way towards brightening someone's day. Upcoming projects include middle-grade reader I'm Right Rita, the fantastical Ideaparnockolis and highly-anticipated storybook Gilbert the Grasshopper.
