LITERARY LOCALS | 7th Grader & Entrepreneur from Chicago, Riley Preston




Kindness... Pass It On

by Riley Preston


CHICAGO–Riley Preston, a 7th grade author and entrepreneur from Chicago, has made it his mission to empower kids to lead by example, igniting a movement to make a positive impact on the world.


Three years ago, he launched “Little Leaders, Big Voices”, urging kids to use their voices for the greater good. Since then, Riley has actively engaged with peers and community leaders advocating for kindness, compassion and support in their communities.

In his first book, Kindness… Pass It On, Riley struggles starting at a new school and finds it difficult to make friends. He discovers that, when we choose to show kindness to others, above all else, we can make the world a better place… one random act of kindness at a time.


Now, Riley unveils his most recent book, Pavement to Podium: A Skateboarder’s Journey. This masterpiece is more than just a story. It’s an example of the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. Riley’s determination is a reminder that obstacles are simply steppingstones on the path to achieving your goals.


Join Riley, a spirited young skateboarder, as he navigates the exhilarating world of skateboarding. Riley’s unwavering spirit will sweep readers away as he conquers his fears, overcomes challenges, and embraces the thrill of the ride. From wiping out on the pavement to a triumphant victory on the podium, Riley’s journey is proof that, with a bit of grit, determination, and perseverance, dreams really can come true!


Inside Pavement to Podium, readers of all ages are invited to share in Riley’s quest for victory. They will experience the excitement of the competition, the adrenaline rush of defying gravity on the ramps, and the euphoric feeling of claiming first place.


Join Riley in his pursuit of excellence, reminding readers that the journey to a better world tomorrow starts with what we do today. Riley believes the journey begins with you and even the smallest acts of kindness can be the catalyst for big change.
