Orion Razat

As a second grader, Orion enjoyed making classmates laugh. His teacher made a deal with him, if he promised to write down jokes at home instead of telling them during class, she would provide a special time during the day where he would be able to share jokes. With the help of his family, the joke project turned into his very first manuscript.

Orion was on New York City’s WBLS radio show as a young filmmaker and was honored by Jif peanut butter for his great storytelling in their “Imagine, Shared Stories” campaign. He received an award from Kids Who Bank, for his creative vision as a young entrepreneur. He is a winner in the University of Washington’s 2020 Neuroscience for Kids Poetry Contest. His journey in creating this collection of jokes was shared in a talk titled, “From Class Clown to Class Author” at The Seattle Times Ignite Education Lab, 2019. His animations are on display at Museum of Museums, Seattle, WA. As a kindergartner, Orion began writing funny stories in blank white books from the art store. His parents taught him how to turn the stories into animations. His dream was to become an author one day. Orion was named Geekwire's Geek of The Month.
