As you may know, I am broadening my writing to other genres
besides productivity and organization.
Before Christmas last year, I had a dream about a bald man who loved
pickles. I turned the dream into a
children’s book called Mr.
Pickle Goes to Pickle Island, now available on Amazon. After starting to type the book and recovering
from back surgery, I went back to the book.
I added a little educational twist in the middle plus a moral about a
diverse diet near the end of the story.
Anyway, after having the story test-read and revised a few times plus a
cover created, this month I finally published it as a Kindle e-book.
The cover has been made into a coloring sheet and uploaded
to the pickle page on mywebsite, along with other drawings the illustrator did. Readers or their
parents can print the coloring sheets for free at the end of the book as an
additional fun activity. Also at the end
of the story is a page of other Fun
Ideas for the Pickle Lover, so children can learn more about farms or
factories. The about the
author has a link to another page on my website. On this page, readers can scroll down to
another link to look at photos from my garden.
Sorry, no cucumbers photographed.
Below is the short description of the book. If you would like to help promote the book on social media, there is an image link on my website.You can go to the book on Amazon from any of
the links in this blog post, if you are interested in purchasing it.
Mr.
Pickle Goes to Pickle Island
Mr. Pickle loves to eat at least one pickle with almost
every meal. He has loved pickles since
he was a little boy. Mr. Pickle wants to
go to the special island where his grandfather claims pickles are made. So he
goes for a short vacation to Pickle Island to see cucumber farming and pickle
processing. On his journey he meets: a sea captain and sailors, a hula girl, a dock
master, a hotel owner, a tour group with adults and children, some farmers, a
factory manager and his workers.

BTW: Did you know
cucumber is a melon? Something else the kiddies may want to check
out.
