Snooky Meets Greasy The Clown by J. Marie Shears About the Author: Marie Shears is responsible for this site and its content. The inspiration behind Snooky Meets Greasy The Clown comes from the author’s own battle with weight since she was a child. After recently losing more than 100 pounds, she decided to help parents and kids who may be in the same situation. It is Marie's hope that in sharing this with others and offering this website to parents and kids, that someone else may be helped to avoid repeating the journey she did. It is dedicated with a warm heart and deep encouragement to any child out there who has lost weight, needs to, or is trying to.

If there is a graphic artist out there whom this inspires, PLEASE contact us. We know the illustrations in a kid's book are just as important as the content and would like to watch it come to life. For more details for graphic artists, click here.

Until then, if you are an amateur writer (or pro who doesn't mind donating work) and have a children's book about health, wellness, multiculturalism, or any other helpful but under-represented topic for children, please submit it via email for our consideration and possible publication online.

Who knows? You may just help a child.
