Squished?

My new “secret” book

I’ve been working on a secret book for the last three years. I’ve never mentioned it here.

It’s a tiny little book. Five minutes to read. My version of Who Moved My Cheese, but (seriously) less cheesy. Or Our Iceberg Is Melting, but with a warmer heart.

It’s called Squished!

It’s about Harold, a hermit crab who’s shell has grown too tight (because he’s grown):

A kids’ book for grown-ups.

It’s about growth and growing up. What to do when you’re stuck. And why your comfort zone should really be called your discomfort zone.

I use it in my work with some very grown up people. And it turns out they read it to their kids

I would so, so love your feedback, since I have a problem:

• Every other book I’ve written has been successfully self-published, but this one feels different.

• Based on early feedback, I’m considering approaching a traditional publisher.

• I don’t know how to do that.

I must admit I feel a little nervous even asking, but: thoughts? Suggestions?

Clarke - feeling atypically nervous.
