I'd like to suggest Conrad J. Storad for your Personal Journey series in the Dayton Daily News. Conrad lives in Ohio and has devoted his life to inspiring curiosity, environmental awareness, and literacy in children through storytelling. An award-winning author and science communicator, Conrad has written more than 60 books for young readers—including Story Monsters Among Us, a graphic novel that explores 50,000 years of storytelling history, and Rattlesnake Rules, a fun, fact-based adventure that makes science approachable for kids. His unique ability to merge education with imagination has touched classrooms, libraries, and families across the country—but his roots and writing life remain deeply connected to Ohio. Conrad's story is one of persistence, creativity, and purpose—how an Ohio boy who once struggled with reading grew up to become one of the nation's most respected children's science authors. He continues to mentor students, visit schools, and inspire the next generation of readers and storytellers. We can provide 4-5 high-resolution photos, including Conrad at school visits, book signings, and working with young readers. Learn more at www.conradstorad.com. Thank you for considering this truly inspiring Ohio story. Warm regards, Linda F. Radke Publisher, Story Monsters LLC www.storymonsters.com linda@storymonsters.com (480)940-8182
