My nephew has brain cancer and after reading Robby's story of how well he deals with his illness, my nephew has been encouraged to continue spreading his happy care-free attitude with others because it makes him feel good too. Just the other day, he decided to draw "Be Happy, Be Brave" pictures and hand them out to random people on the street for Brain Tumor Awareness Month to encourage them to be strong in whatever life throws their way. Thanks for helping him spread his awesomeness.

If you've ever thought about making the world a better place but didn't know where to start ... Robby and Brad have some ideas for you. I've been a fan of Kid President for several years, and I actually have used his YouTube videos to inspire my GED students. When I found out Robby and Brad had written a book, I had to have it.

Looking at the cover, you might think this is a children's book, but it really is for everyone. This book is filled with Robby's bits of wisdom ... put down your phone ... think like a kid ... be cool to people even if they haven't been cool to you. I also love the stories about inspirational people who really make a difference in the world. Some of them are famous but most are just regular people of all ages, Robby asks each of them for advice on how to make the world more awesome and invites the reader to just do something.

If you know anything about Robby Novak's story, he has faced more challenges than most kids his age. That said, Robby is one of the most enthusiastic, positive, engaging young men I've ever seen. I hope he knows how much of a difference he's making!

What can I say beyond that Kid President is AWESOME. This book is predictably awesome as well. Perfect motivation to go out and be awesome and do awesome stuff. If you find something that isn't awesome, you will want to make it awesome. If you see awesome stuff, you want to make it more awesome.

Yes the word awesome comes up a lot & by the end you will find yourself smiling saying everything is awesome.
Love his humor and spirit that comes across beautifully as Kid President and his uncle discuss how attitude and what you do determines how you feel and how we all can be more awesome to each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide For Being Awesome is Most Definitely Awesome

I loved Kid President's Guide to Being Awesome. As someone who is a part of a college student organization that strives on doing things to make other people feel happier, this was a cool way to see other ways to make an impact on people, and how not every act has to be something complex or costly. The commentary from Robby and Brad was cute, and I thought the list of ways to be awesome was a great idea. I had to stop and start reading this book over the course of a few months (because reading for fun and college don't always mix the greatest), but I was able to finish over spring break and I'm so excited to quote it for our organization and use some of the scenarios to brighten the lives of Ohio State students. I've enjoyed following Robby during his reign as Kid President from his first pep talk and I look forward to seeing what positive impact he makes next. Keep up the great work, Kid President and Brad!! :)

This book should be required reading for grades 3-5. I love how simply put the concepts of service and being a good person are written. The inclusion of actual people making a difference in the world fit with the 100 points. In a world full of negative influence, this book is a lighthouse guiding the youth to be better. If you love kid president and everything the channel is and continues to be, this book is just a continuation of the videos. The book is colorful, fun and includes a window into the person Robby. It is an easy read with a large message. WELL DONE!

What an AWESOME book!

Kid President is my absolute favorite. He always encourages me when I am having a hard day. As soon as my copy came in from Amazon, I sat down and read the whole book cover to cover. I love the bright pages and great ideas on how to make the world a more awesome place. This is definitely a book that I will be reading a lot. In the words of Kid President, " We can make every day better for each other. But if we're all on the same team, let's start acting like it. We got work to do. We can cry about it or we can dance about it. We were made to be awesome. Let's get out there!"
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go make the world awesome!

I'm already a huge KP fan but this book still blew me away with how impressive and inspiring it is! I was expecting a fairly short book meant as a quick story for kids. This books is still great for kids, but it's jam packed with goodness - enough to provide several weeks of stortime. Every page is well thought out, from the content to the design.
Would be a great gift for both kids and adults. I'll have to buy a second copy because I want one to keep on hand for myself!! :)

This book brings happiness and joy into every home. Kid President is awesome of cause. But he is funny vivacious and wise before his time. This might be, because Kid President has foughtt through alot. He was born with Orthogenesis Imperfecta, brittle boned disease. So he had a lot of operations and knows all about pain. But here he is, Kid President and King of Resiliency, full of live and ambition. He has a crazy brother in law or something with whom he makes all his videos for their youtube channel. It started very small and got big fast, they even were allowed to visit the real president (well, as I write, I must say Ex President). 😢 This book, Guide to being awesome includes ideas from the kid president, but they present other initiatives, movements, groups, who want to give back to the world. I love it alot and I have given it to a friend now, for she needs something uplifting right now.
