Kel Thompson wrote, “Should, Could, and Would,” a new children’s book scheduled for release on Nov. 24.
Thompson used the help of his mother, Charlotte, and his sister, Casey, for the book.
“Should, Could, and Would” is the story of three short gnomes. After taking a long walk to visit the All-Knowing Gnome, they learn "action, not inaction" will solve their problems
Thompson works in Boca Raton and recently had a special event in Boynton Beach on Nov. 14 for the Nurturing Naturally Moms Group at West Boynton Park.

Aside from writing, what do you do full-time?
“I am a freelance HD videographer and work in video production. I just got my studio, 95 NW 11th St., Boca Raton, about a year ago.”
How did you get into that line of work?
“I have always wanted to work my own business. I started targeting businesses in Houston to help the Spanish employees. I made posters and banners that taught the English language. I was not enjoying it so I found a job as a helicopter videographer.”
What is your favorite aspect of what you do?
“My job is really exciting. For the Fortune 500 companies I work with, they bring in motivational speakers. I enjoy listening to them and the public speaking aspect of that.”
How did you even begin to think of writing a book?
“It is about how action will help you get what you want in life as opposed to inaction. My son was born three years ago and he started reading books, so I had a poem that I wrote that was the concept. My mom and sister really pushed it through.”
How did the event with the Nurturing Naturally Moms Group go?
“It went well. There was reading to kids and my wife Brandi is involved in a lot of moms’ groups.”
Any more books that you are working on?
“There are a couple we have written. My favorite is “To be or not to be a bee in a tree,” that teaches children about the to be verb. We are going to see how this one does first before releasing any more.”
