Real Kids, Real AdventuresTM is a weekly, half-hour program of true-life dramas created by Deborah Morris, author of the Real Kids, Real AdventuresTM book series, and produced by nine-time Emmy Award winner Bob Banner. The TV series airs in the U.S., South and Central America and the Caribbean Islands on the Discovery Channel, and in Canada and Europe on Global Television.

The series was recently honored with an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Children's Series", and was also the recipient of the prestigious Award of Excellence from The Film Advisory Board.

Unlike many reality programs, Real Kids, Real AdventuresTM isn't a series of docu-dramas. Each episode is presented as a "mini-movie", shot on location with professional actors portraying the real kids. At the end of each episode, the "Real Kid" is introduced on camera. Most of the episodes have been shot in Canada, with the working production offices based in Toronto.
