Clay Vilhauer is a nine-year-old bestselling author, soccer player, and adventurer with a heart for impact. At six, he announced he wanted to write a book. Six months later, The Long Forest Trail hit #1 on Amazon, won three awards, and has since put more than 15,000 copies into the hands of kids who need hope. His second book, What Nature Teaches Us, is for the child who needs to know they are enough, and for the adult who needs to know again. Clay's vision is to help kids and adults Choose The Light—a mission that inspires families to reconnect with nature, strengthen their bond, discover their light, and share it with the world.
