Kim never thought that her son would be gifted and talented, or that it would be a lifelong series of exciting but also exhausting challenges also. Her son learned to read at eighteen months old, and was soon showing his daycare classmates about shapes, colors, and numbers that he learned. One month, after her son started kindergarten at her local public school, his kindergarten teacher, suggested that her son could sit in with the fourth grade in Reading and the second grade in Math. Since then, she has had to deal with her son's high sensitivity, his verbal skills with other peers (not popular) and adults, his interest in coding and chess, boredom in class, and low executive function skills. She often found that teachers or other parents had little understanding of the challenges involved with raising a gifted child, only the benefits. She thought it would be good to base a story on her son's love of chess to illustrate the challenges that she dealt with and also her son's growth and development with his hobby. In this way, parents and their gifted and talented children would not feel so alone but part of a community. She encourages all parents to work to get to know their own child and foster what that child is interested in. In order to support them in development and finding caring teachers and administrators to help. She lives with her husband and darling son in central New Jersey and enjoys reading and writing, as well as cooking and tennis-but not chess!
