Omar Chin was born in The Bronx, NY to Jamaican parents and was raised in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He has always enjoyed writing, teaching, and helping children grow by realizing their full potential. When he was in middle school, he began to write short stories which helped to stretch his imagination. From that point on he explored different writing styles like poetry, storytelling, and short narratives. When he was in college, he started to mentor kids and learned that they had much more to offer if they were given the opportunity. He realized that there was an opportunity to combine all of his passions by writing children's books with the hopes that they will inspire conversations between children and adults.
