A Nudge from a Nut

Cashew is a nut on a mission. He believes that "can't" is just a word that stands in the way of what we truly CAN achieve. So when his friend Indi tells him about someone stuck in the hopelessness of doubt, Cashew knows just what to do-help them escape from the Land of Can't and onto the path of possibility! With encouragement from Cashew and his team, Indi's friend learns that anything is possible if you trust your heart and embrace your potential.

A Nudge from a Nut is the first in the Leaving the Land of Can't series, a collection of encouraging, motivational stories for both children and adults. This children's book about confidence is perfect for parents looking to help their kids overcome doubt and build self-confidence. Through Cashew's inspiring journey, readers will discover how to break free from self-doubt, build self-confidence, and develop a positive mindset.

With reflection and discussion questions included, this motivational children's book is ideal for parents, teachers, and anyone seeking to foster hope, resilience, and a positive attitude in children.

Inspired by a middle school band teacher's powerful reminder-"Can't is not a word"-Paul Kristopher wrote A Nudge from a Nut to uplift and motivate readers of all ages to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams with confidence and hope. Based on Paul Kristopher's original sketches, Jack Swenson's illustrations bring to life the characters that sparked the series.
