• Kids Can Publish University
  Kids Can Publish University was the brainchild of Linda Radke of Five Star Publications, Inc. In 1985, shortly after leaving her profession as a special education teacher, Radke started her own publishing company. In hopes of making the world a better place by promoting tolerance, character, kindness and a love for reading and writing with her books, Radke, an award-winning writer and publisher, eventually started Little Five Star Publications and published books like:

  • Tic Talk: Living with Tourette Syndrome, A 9-year-old Boy's Story in His Own Words by Dylan Peters

  • I Just Am: A Story of Down Syndrome Awareness and Tolerance by Bryan Lambke and Tom Lambke

  • When Life Throws You A Curve: One Girl's Triumph Over Scoliosis by Elizabeth Golden

  • The Student from Zombie Island: Conquering the Rumor Monster by Michael J. Moorehead with Kathy Parks, Illustrator
    
    All of these books were written by or for children to help people become more compassionate toward each other. Through her experience with Little Five Star, Radke learned children had something to say, and some of them were pretty darn good at saying it. For this reason, she decided more children deserved to have their "five minutes of fame," to spread their messages or to stretch their writing skills, so she launched Kids Can Publish University.
