A trip to the doctor’s office to get a wart removed may seem like a rather mundane experience, but for Kayla and Jax Wills, the visit with a doctor turned into a magical trip that is now being shared with the masses.
Kayla, who lives in rural Deer Creek, published her first book entitled “Jax and His Wart” approximately one month ago.
“I’ve wanted to write a book for a while and I thought a children’s book would be a fun way to get into it,” said Kayla. “This was a true story about what happened to my son Jax so I thought it was cute and fun and decided to make it into a kids book.”
The book details a true story about her son Jax and his experience in getting a wart removed from his foot. In the book a doctor eased the tension by making it a fun and playful experience. Kayla said the doctor used “magic,” or freezing solution, to get rid of the wart. When the wart fell off a few days later, Kayla joked that Jax was concerned because he thought his magic was gone as well.
“She made it just a magical experience for Jax,” said Kayla.
The book was released in July and is available on Amazon. Kayla said the book took approximately two months to write, but it took a while to get the book published. The book is filled with artwork to help and detail the story of Jax and his wart. She said her son Jax, as well as her two other boys, Harry and Dean, really enjoyed the finished book.
“He absolutely loved it. All of my kids loved it. They thought it was really cute,” she said.
Kayla said she would eventually like to write a longer book or novel, but for now she is trying to come up with book ideas centered around her other two sons Harry and Dean.
Jax and His Wart can be purchased as both a physical book and e-book on Amazon.
