Q&A with David Kennedy, Question 2:
Q: How did you initially become involved with story/storytelling/narrative? What attracted you to this field? What do you love about it?
A: I wrote a book in the second grade about my Dad and his time in the U.S. Air Force. It mixed truth and fiction, and included my own illustrations. We created our own book covers and bound the books as well, so in the end, it was like a real book.
Looking back, I was enamored by the notion that I could string 26
characters into words, sentences and paragraphs that made sense, and took readers on a journey. I’ve always been a dreamer, embarking on journeys of my own, so I want to enable people to do the same. And that’s really what I love about stories and narrative — the idea that people can go on a journey and learn something that could potentially change them in a dramatic way.
