Cocoon Kids

by Joseph Grammer, Anna Tulchinskaya (Illustrator)

Overview

Your rowdy, boozy Grandpa. Two samurai hurling insults at each other on a battlefield. A guy who commits a crime because of pancakes. The stories inside Cocoon Kids explore the strange ways that love and peace make themselves known in our lives. From the streets of New York to the traveling circus, struggles for a good life are waged with the usual human tricks: humor, anger, work, and chronic delusion. Like all earthly occupants, some win, some fail, and some hang in the goopy middle. One or two go to jail.

Cocoon Kids may help you along if you want to sing and kick your inner shell; if you like poems or beer or basketball; or if you�re wondering what a thoracic surgeon, a squid, and a truck-stop bathroom can teach you about companionship.

Editorial Reviews

Where most authors are afraid to leave their comfort zone, Grammer takes you on a ride through characters of all personalities, professions, and problems, with emotions spanning sadness, loss, triumph, anger, fear, self-loathing, confidence, and one very humorous squid addiction.
