Chad Otis has shared a few of his children’s books on Idaho Today, some have received national accolades too! Currently, Otis is releasing a new children’s book titled ‘Neat Nicks Big Mess.’ The premises is about a boy who tries to control his environment by keeping it neat all the time. It’s how the title character, Nick, creates comfort. But one day, the family gets a big, loud, messy dog, which disturbs Nicks ability to keep things tidy and forces Nick to find and a new way to manage his anxiety and learn how to compromise.
Author Chad Otis says he puts a bit of himself in his children’s books and he hopes that not only kids will benefit from this message, but also the parents who read it with their children will as well. You can meet Idaho children’s book author, Chad Otis at two upcoming events in the Treasure Valley. Watch his interview with Mellisa Paul on Idaho Today to get the details.
