Let’s get one thing straight: Kenyon, the kid on the July 2013 cover of Metro Parent magazine, does not, in fact, have a broken arm. This bombastic Belleville 8-year-old does, however, have charm to spare – complete with a flair for fancy footwork and masterfully wiggly eyebrows to match. Stylish and super camera-friendly, Kenyon was the “poster boy” for our cover story, “The 411 on 911” – all about preparing for a child emergency during the summer (which is prime season for accidents).
Why not check out Kenyon’s killer dance moves for yourself? Our Q&A video also captures his goofy personality, penchant for action-packed movies – and a bit of fuzzy (but classic-kid funny) math when it comes to roller coaster height (but really, when you’re on one of those awesome thrill rides, who’s counting?). Check out how we crafted his convincing yellow cast, too:
