Why Leap Day? According to Nick, "this country needs to take a huge leap forward when it comes to bullying in our schools. Pete the Popcorn carries a message of children offering encouragement to each other on a daily basis. We believe that the answer to bullying is encouragement--- and this will start with the youngest of children." Nick has visited with over 100,000 children in 25 states, holding motivational assemblies centered around his book titles.

After graduating from high school, he attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts in Southfield, Michigan, where he focused on communications.

"Currently, I'm very excited about the release of my newest book, PETE: Play, Eat, Think, Encourage. I've lost 70 pounds and I was inspired to do it through a child I met at a school visit. Now maybe I can inspire or encourage others to do the same," Rokicki said. Other titles in his collection include Clipper the Comet, which celebrates the American autoworker and family traditions. Casey and Callie Cupcake is a Frosted Fable About Being Fantastic Just the Way You Are.
