If you have children and they have read the “Uncle Stinky” series, then you’ve heard the name Chris Rumble. Chris is a man on a mission. He is also a man of many talents.
Illustraing graphic novels for kids about bullying and other timely subjects is just one of the things he is known for. He’s an artist, an author and a marketing genius!
My friendship with Chris has been a virtual one. He lives north of Atlanta, yet I believe it’s safe to say that this entire country is his home.
Chris is something of a a “Pied Piper”. And his mission is literacy.
The pep rallies he holds at schools across this country inspire children everywhere to love books, all sorts of books.
Through music and a high energy presentation on why reading is important, Chris touches the lives of children everywhere. He’s known as the Reading Man and offers such programs as The Readapalooza and Bookstock to ignite the spirit of students in over 800 schools and libraries in 36 states over the past ten years.
Here’s a message from Chris himself about his work.
From my experience, Chris Rumble is a very humble man. A man who is devoted to his wife, to his family and to his work. If you have the opportunity to see Chris in action your life will be forever blessed. And even though we have never actually met in person, I believe in Chris Rumble and I am honored to call him my friend!
