I published a children’s book earlier this year, and I’m giving away the ebook version as the year winds down. The idea for the book came to me while I was working on The Dancing Fish. The illustrations in that poetry book were in gray, and I wondered if a kid’s book done in gray illustrations and plain white backgrounds would work.
And so we have Nobody Will Like This Book.
The ebook is free on Amazon today through Christmas day.
Here’s the description:
Plainly put, this book is worried that nobody will like it. This book has seen other books with beautiful pictures and colors on their covers. And some other books have pictures and colors on their inside pages. In contrast, this book has only grays on it. The book has drawings on the inside pages. Some of those drawings are a bit silly, so they can be fun. Whatโs also fun (and very nice) is when a friendly book comes by and tells this book that being different isnโt bad. Instead, it makes books special.
If you’d like to take a stroll through the book — complete with narration — check out the video. Click here if you’d rather watch it on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy the video and the book!
This is a very different and creative idea, Dave. The concept of the book itself states that it’s okay to be different from the rest. Great! ๐

Great video. Pissed myself laughing ๐ I bought your book but I donโt know how to download it. I donโt have Kindle. Do I need a Kindle app? Anyway, great and funny stuff!

I’m glad the video had that effect! And thanks for grabbing a copy of the book ๐ You need a Kindle app to download the ebook. But you can also read ebooks within your Amazon account. When you’re on Amazon, in the bar at the top of the page, click your name and “Account & Lists.” A box should pop up with a list underneath the heading “Your Account.” In the list is “Content & Devices.” Click on that, and you should be brought to the page of digital content, and the ebook should be there. I hope that works!

This is a great idea. I’ve published 3 ebooks, and I charged low prices so they would sell, but giving away a book to get your audiance interested sounds like a better.

Yeah, occasionally giving away ebooks can get them into readersโ hands. Hereโs hoping the ebooks actually get read ๐
