The Part Mart by Bret Nelson

Encyclopocalypse Publications presents our first children’s book!

Each night as she pulled off her socks before sleep,

Millicent Clark turned away from her feet.

They both were too wide, like they came from great apes.

She’d never seen human feet come in these shapes.

  Then…

    She saw a sign at the end of her street

    that promised a fix for her off-putting feet.

    “The Part Mart,” it said, “is a place you can go

    to swap out the parts that make you feel low.”

And so begins a series of visits with Doctor Parts. On her journey, Millicent learns that she’s more than just pieces. That improvements come with a cost.

Written by Bret Nelson (Manborg, Murder Garden) and illustrated by Pete Mitchell, The Part Mart is a story with an edge about accepting yourself for who you really are.
