Writing is a way to run away the real life
Real life is hard sometimes
Sometimes you need a escape
You have a paper and pen and your brain
you have a lot to say and you can’t say every thing

– Kyleigh Kramlich

Oh Yeah! Pipe Pipe Pipes!

The authors of Oh Yeah! Pipe Pipe Pipes! want you to remember to “show respect to the piranhas” because “They’re powerful. Boom” (“The Piranhas”). This book is bursting with unique approaches to storytelling. There’s a high-stakes game of Flytraps and Pipes. There’s a crew of aliens hoping to save humanity instead of destroying it. One writer dreams of swimming in a pool of coca cola, while another recounts losing power during a thunderstorm. Among tales of beautiful beaches and birds, there are confrontations with difficult realities: “Everyone passes away and doesn’t stay alive” (“The Gidget Show”). But sometimes all it takes to feel better is the right music at the right time: “I hear the opening fiddle cords of my favorite song. Everything is okay” (“Music Magic”).
