Adora Svitak
Adora Lily Svitak (อโดร่า
สวิแทค)(born October 15, 1997)
is an American
child prodigyand internationally published author, known for her essays, stories, poems, blogs, and
full-length books. Adora first
became known to the public when, at
the
age of 6, she was recognized on local news
in Seattlefor her writing abilities.
Adora became an
object of national
interest
at the age of 7 when she
appeared with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning
America. Her book
Flying Fingersdescribes Adora's abiding
love of language and writing and
contains tips and
hints for other aspiring writers. In 2005, at
the
age of 7, Adora
began writing
blogsand keeping an
online journal, where she comments on matters of
both international
significance and subjects of personal
interest. Since Nov, 2005 Adora has been
promoting literacy and interest in reading and
writing. She has lectured before large
audiences of both students and adults across
the United States, and in
the United Kingdom.
As of January 2007, Adora is completing her first full-length novel, Yang in Disguise, serving as a spokesperson for Verizon Reads campaign for literacy, and editing a novella, "The Pickpocket Princess". She has now finished her second book, Dancing Fingers— which her older sister Adrianna, who is a musician, helped write. In January 2009 she appeared in a Channel 4documentary, The World's Cleverest Child and Me, presented by Mark Dolan.
Professor Joan Freeman, psychologist and author of How to Raise A Bright Child, believes "There's a big difference between a gifted child and a gifted adult. All a child has to do is be advanced for their age. An adult has to push the frontiers of knowledge."
"Currently, Adora loves what she does and gets glory and praise. Problems may arise when she hits adolescence. You can't work as hard as she does whilst also giggling with girlfriends, hanging out with boys, stomping around and slamming doors. Life could get very difficult."
In February 2010, Adora spoke at the TED Conference
, saying the world needs
"childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild
creativity and
especially optimism. Kids'
big dreams deserve high expectations,
she says, starting
with grownups' willingness to learn from children as
much
as to teach.
On October 19, 2010, Adora spoke to the faculty and students of Full Sail University, on creativity in the classroom.
