"Ope!"
Ian Fleming

Each animal deals with his or her embarrassment in the same way: By simply uttering the word "Ope!"

What is "Ope?"
In case you've never heard it before,"Ope" is a word that people, especially Midwesterners, use when experiencing a sudden feeling of surprise or embarrassment. We've all experienced it: A clumsy mistake, a slight misstep, an awkward encounter while trying to walk past someone. These are just a few events that can lead to a person using the word "ope."
As a native Nebraskan, I have been hearing and using the word "Ope" throughout my entire life without even thinking about it. One day, I was at home with my 18-month-old son, and tripped over one of his toys. As I was trying not to fall, I said "OPE!" before catching myself. He laughed, then repeated the word I had just uttered.
Later that day, while he was napping, I sat down and typed my first draft of this book. My hope is to help connect kids and their grown-ups to show how we can externalize these mildly uncomfortable feelings in a simple, silly way.
