In 2016, Dr. Maha Hosain Aziz, is an NYU professor specializing in Global Risk, World Economic Forum risk expert, and author of the global politics book Future World Order (A bestseller and six-time award winner). She drew the crowdfunded political comic book, The Global Kid, which stars the superhero character of 14-year-old Sami. Sami lived in different countries with his family. Much like Dr. Aziz did – 7 countries by age 14, and observed political problems (much like Dr. Aziz does in her day job), The Global Kid in 2021 won its seventh education award and was a Top 16 Amazon bestseller.
Now, The Global Kid is entering into the virtual and augmented realms with its long-overdue sequel! In 2021 The Global Kid won the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, and it was a finalist in the Global Hero category of the Germany-based 2021 Digital Female Leader Awards.
The Global Kid is an exciting and thought-provoking book that seamlessly blends AR technology with global politics in a way that kids and parents will understand and have fun with.
Recently I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Maha Aziz to discuss the Global Kid and talk about how it fits in the world today, where we are headed in a post-pandemic era and the role children today will play in the future.
I hope you enjoy our conversation!
