Throwback Thursday: You're so "Chocolate Bar" – Small Kid with BIG Ideas…Changing the world one book at a time!

CHOCOLATE BAR

Changing the world one book at a time

by 8-year-old
Dylan Siegal

"Chocolate Bar" means awesome to 8-year-old Dylan Siegel who has raised more than a 1,000,000 dollars thru sales of his book – all toward curing his best friend Jonah's rare liver disease.

I met Dylan at a YouTube SpaceLA Creator Academy course last month. Although Dylan was the youngest in our class – you could tell right away that he was not your typical 8-year-old kid.

Dylan's mission is to cure his best friend Jonah's rare disease and show kids everywhere that their big ideas can change the world.

Most of what I tried to do with Throwback Thursday is feature kids doing great things in the world. What a great kid, a great friend to Jonah and a perfect person to feature on my Thursday blog post. If only we could all remember what it was like to be fearless: To think - why not?! And then write a book that raises over a million dollars to help cure a disease. Why NOT be so "Chocolate Bar".
