Who is Kenny?Â
Kenny Rochon, III was born blue on Flag Day, June 14th, 2013. After witnessing a miracle of breathing and life, he appeared alert beyond comprehension. His curiosity about electric circuitry and puzzles gave hints at age three; he was mentally stimulated to learn.

At age five, the pandemic was an interesting blessing because his father needed to stay home for two years. His father had taught gifted and talented eighth-grade children physical science, and based on Kenny’s aptitude, he challenged Kenny to learn the periodic table and write his first book. Both came relatively easy for Kenny, and his prolific career as an author took hold of the young man.
He balanced Boy Scouts, piano, and soccer into his school and writing schedule. He has set his intentions on becoming an Eagle Scout and does yearly Holiday recitals on the piano.
Currently, he finished his 14th book titled ‘Kenversations’ with his Dad and they tour Canada and the United States for book signings.
Kenny aspires to become a leader who protects animals from cruelty and takes caring for our planet seriously.
