Today we are introducing a world famous author
who accidentally changed
children's literature forever
he originally wanted to draw cartoons for newspapers
but his drawings were considered too simple
instead of giving up
he spent eight years secretly working on a book
that combines text and cartoons
surprisingly he also created
a very popular online game for kids
his most famous character
is a middle school student
who writes about his bad luck in a diary
can you guess who he is
the answer is Jeff Kinney
the creator of the diary of a Wumpy Kids series
born in 1971 in Maryland, USA
Kinney loved reading comics
while attending the University of Maryland
he created a popular comic strip
for the campus newspaper
although he dreamed of becoming a professional
newspaper cartoonist
he struggled to find success after college
today he is one of the most successful authors in the world
known for his unique style
that mixes handwriting with simple expressive drawings
Jeff Kinney's path to success was not direct
after his comic strips were rejected
he began working as a computer programmer
in 1998 he came up with the idea
for diary of a Wumpy Kids
he worked on the story for 8 years
before sharing it with anyone
in 2004 he published an online version
on the website Fun Brain
which attracted millions of readers
when the printed book was finally released
in 2007 it instantly became a best seller
since then the series has sold more than
275 million copies globally
and has been translated
into over 60 languages
today Jeff Kinney is still writing new books
and his work has been adapted into several successful
live action and animated movies on Disney+.
Beyond his writing he has made a positive impact
on his local community
he opened a bookstore and cafe
named an unlikely story
in plainville, Massachusetts
has become a community center
famous authors come to meet their fans
Kinney continues to advocate for reading
and often travels the world to meet young readers
encouraging them to write their own stories
here are two surprising facts about Jeff Kinney
first, diary of a Wumpy Kids
was not originally intended for children
Kinney actually wrote it
as a nostalgic book for adults
looking back on their middle school years
he wanted to show how regular adult readers
what it felt like to be a helpless child again
however, when he showed it to a publisher
they immediately told him
this is a children's book
but it turned out to be the right decision
second, before he was a famous author
Jeff Kinney was the creator of Pop Tropica
this was a massive online role-playing game
where kids could travel to different islands
at its peak, millions of children played it every month
many fans of the game had no idea
that the person who designed their favorite online world
was also the author of their favorite book series
it proves that Kinney truly understands
whether it's on the screen or on a page
