The Life of a Nut

By Maureen Patricia Slamer

Author and visual artist Maureen Slamer examines and illustrates the challenges and charm of individuality in The Life of a Nut, an engaging debut in which a lone peanut takes center stage to steal the show. From finding her own identity and honing her role in society, she proves to be a pretty easy nut to crack'?in fact, the key to success is her ability to persevere and embrace her nuttiness. In four playful and witty chapters with titles like, '?I Have Some Things to Say,'? '?There Are All Kinds of Nuts,'? and '?Nutty Games,'? Slamer addresses the human condition and the inevitable anxieties of what it takes to be one of a kind. Life isn't a bowl of cherries'?it is a bag of nuts. From leaps of faith, crash landings, and funky blues to walking the extra mile, being a true nut takes tenacity, a little grit, and a whole lot of guts.
