A Nudge from a Nut (Leaving the Land of Can't)

Cashew has never been a fan of the word can’t. He has always believed it’s just a word that gets in the way of achieving what we CAN.

When Indi tells Cashew about her friend who is struggling with doubt, a plan is devised to coach him back onto the path of possibility and out of the Land of Can’t!

A Nudge from a Nut is the first in a series of encouraging, motivational stories for both children and adults. The adventures of Cashew and his friends will inspire, provoke, and challenge readers to trust their heart’s eye and strive to live in their purpose—not in fear and lies.

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.
