And the Crisis Goes to My Head

There is something seriously wrong with me.

I am writing a children’s book.

About parrots.

It’s probably a response to extreme boredom. And I am having fun. There could be worse outcomes than a career path that involves reading to children at story time.

Schistosomiasis is a first-grade level word, right?

      Once I get a reasonable mock-up done, I’ll email you a copy if you’ll pass on the kids’ opinions. I don’t know if it will ever be good enough to sell.

    This seems like a perfectly appropriate response to the current situation.

      I’m having fun, anyway. I guess the worst that can happen is I publish the parrot book under a pen name and go into hiding.

    Schistosomiasis is totally a first grade level word, if the first grader has that particular parasite. Kids can be incredibly intuitive and learn fast when something has to do with them personally.

      We’ll call it a niche market. Subtropical parasites for infected children. I think maybe I’ve seen a word list by grade level somewhere. If the library were open, I would look for it.
