Born to American parents in Beirut, Lebanon, Patrick Adams’ love of travel may have begun on his first flight when he was just four days old. Patrick spent his early years in such exotic locations as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Las Palmas, Canary Islands.

Not surprisingly, he graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Travel and Tourism.

Patrick’s debut children’s book, a travel adventure titled Lisa Goes to England, was released in May 2015.

England was just the first locale of many travel adventures in what would become the Amazing Lisa series, inspired by Patrick’s own children. With tales set in France, Australia, India, Japan, Brazil, and Italy, each story features exploration, mischief, and magic in some of the world’s most enchanting places.

A second series called Rhythm’s World debuted in February 2017 and is built around Patrick’s daughter, Rhythm. A subsequent “series within a series” called Rhythm’s World Tour encompasses three books about North America, Europe, and Asia. Rhythm Meets Lyric, released in 2021, celebrates Rhythm’s new sister, Lyric.

Among the awards Patrick Adams has received for his children’s books are the Readers Favorite Award Book Excellence Award, Hot Diggity Award, Maincrest Media Award, and Independent Press Award.

In 2021, Patrick Adams’ debut children’s album, the Hot Diggity Award-winning Amazing World, was released, and he also launched his NAPPA Award-winning Kindie Rock Stars podcast, which celebrates

other children’s musicians. Seven more releases followed, including The Friends EP, a single, “Meet Us in Brazil,” and the albums Travel Time with Patrick, Kindies Do the ‘80s Volumes One through Four, and

Adventure Time with Patrick (2023 NAPPA Award).
