Big Top Bowl (2021) is a children's book concept that tells the story of a new bowling ball learning to accept himself and live up to his potential. The story features a bowling pin clown troupe that acts collectively as a false antagonist, egging on the bowling ball when he does not hit them and poking fun at his pacifist nature. In the end, the bowling ball decides to hit the clowns after realizing that the pins and balls in the lanes beside him are having fun, and the pins in his lane cheer him on, proud of his accomplishments.
