My Wife and I Made a Kid's Book! [Kelly & Ellie] [E4 Sneak Peak]

My product safety brain will hate me if I don’t mention to make sure to get information on the adhesive used for any stickers! Kids are going to stick them on their face, and you don’t want your book successs to be impacted if a bunch of kids get rashes :grimacing:

This was such a cool read! So interesting to learn how the sausage is made.

The first thing I thought of was my 7 yo niece. She’s a complete bookworm who loves animals and wow…the illustration looks just like her! She just got (pink) glasses a few months ago and is a little self conscious of wearing them. She will LOVE this!

I filled out the form on your site but please shoot me a DM when this is available in case I miss the email!

Really awesome story and project @Slade! Happy for you and your wife to see the vision come to fruition :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: I may have to purchase it once it releases!

Will do! That is so unique that the illustration of Kelly looks just like your niece <3
Our target audience is a age demographic between 2-8. Kelly is actually drawn to look around 8 years old! so very cool haha

I can’t wait to get this book into people’s hands and into their homes :house: :heart:
I will 100% post here as well as send out a mass email about the upcoming date of release for the book!

Thank you @camrok37 :heart:
I will post here and give regular updates to this thread when things come to fruition.

Right now I am working on the sticker sheet for the book as an extra value add on for people that purchase. We are thinking the book will be exclusively hardback versions, it will come with a sticker sheet, signed by my wife and I, and it will run for $19.99 + Ship.

Again I will update the thread as more things come about :]

Thank you Xileets! Our illustrator did a fantastic job on making K&E’s world come to life :shamrock:
An inspirational that was always in the back of my head when creating this book was the book series I grew up with, Curious George. Those stories were always so alive to me and I think partly was due to the illustrations. Nothing was “standing still” in between pages. There was always a reaction to every action, a consequence to every decision. that’s what I strived for when thinking through every page and illustration.
