Nolan is like many children who are not interested in using their words. Their answer to everything is no. This story is one child's journey from being "Nolan No" to learning the value of words, including the word "yes," speaking nicely and making people understand what he wants and needs, without being defiant. I hope this book helps many families with a child who loves the word "No" a little too much, to learn to communicate with and help each other understand other people's feelings and needs, and promote more loving relationships.

Since many of us love our shoes, I wrote a fun book including a humorous analysis of what types of people wear different types of shoes. I discussed "Shoe Personalities," "Shoe Personality Disorders," "Shoe Crimes," and other shoe-related conversations. I also paid tribute to shoe designers, indicating they are in a very high place on the food chain of the universe. I hope this book is enjoyable and makes all the shoe lovers smile.
