Eric Ludy's Shorts

Jamaica-Mon Publisher's Summary

Kipling is a son who...um...doesn’t.

What begins as an attempt to “fix” a problem becomes something altogether different—a journey into seeing weakness, difference, and even fatherhood from an entirely new perspective.

Part family story, part superhero origin story, and part celebration of the wonderfully unexpected ways our minds can work, Jamaica-Mon is a small book about a surprisingly big idea:

Sometimes the person who needs a new pair of glasses isn’t the person you thought.
