PRESS RELEASE | LA BOOK FAIR 2022

“Cousin to the lunatic stories of Lewis Carroll is Debbie Hickman’s The Exasperated Clock. This sweet maniac of a story tells life from the view of a clock and her hyper rascally numbers. Each follows his or her destiny to places few could imagine. Read this charmer and find out what they
are. Hickman’s imagination is luminous.” — David Greenberg, children’s book author and director of the OREGON COAST CHILDREN’S BOOK WRITERS WORKSHOP, SUMMER 2013

“. . . the characters are believeable and delightfully expressive through their dialogue, inner thoughts and actions. Second graders LOVE when things are mixed up and not going well. So their little minds start working immediately on how this is all going to get sorted out. I was enchanted.” — Malia McLaughlin, Second grade teacher at Mon’t Kiara International School, Malaysia.

Debbie Hickman was born in Vancouver, Washington and grew up in Idaho. She is now living in Sierra Vista, Arizona with her family. In between, she has lived and taught in Arizona, Bahrain, Kuwait, India, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia. She was inspired to write this story when learning that serious mathematicians like Albert Einstein often referred to numbers as their “friends”. Of course, the positive responses to her stories from her numerous imaginative young students over the years drove her more to keep sharing and writing more stories for children to read. Other books by Debbie will be forthcoming about how each number evolved in their life beyond the clock.
