Other editions of book Puzzle World: Call Me Oatmeal

Zeke is 4 years old, on the autism spectrum, and mildly envious of his younger brother's friendship with his teddy bear. Edgar is 2, extremely obsessed with cookies and best friends with his teddy bear, Moby. Together, they tell the story of their previously unseen world using various artistic styles and homages that will help older people understand. Join the boys for their white whale hunts and chocolate chip adventures in a universe you never thought you'd see.

Puzzle World - Call Me Oatmeal takes its theme directly from Moby Dick. The main characters spend the pages of this anthology chasing their own white whale in their own unique way. Zeke is 4, somewhere on the autism spectrum and is jealous of the relationship his younger brother has with his teddy bear. Edgar is 2 and highly impulsive. They represent elements of who I am as an obsessive recluse and an impulsive creative type who is often missing somewhere in some imaginary universe. This glimpse into their interpretation of the world around them is a fantasy, of course. Toddlers don’t read Melville. Their adventures hunting the nefarious bear and the secret cache of cookies, are merely translations of their observations, and in turn, a view inside my own unique consciousness. Thank you for reading. I truly appreciate you taking the time to look at (and perhaps purchase) this book. Life is short, live it well.
