We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 27, 2012.

Now the HuffPo did a story!!

Update #6 · Jun 18, 2012 · comment

Amazing! I can't believe how much interest we've gotten in this project! The Huffington Post just put up a story on their Parenting website. Check it out!

This is all because of YOU, yes, YOU backers who stepped outside of your comfort zone to donate to this project. We absolutely, positively would not have had the interest in this project without all of YOU coming together and standing with us. Thank you. Thank you.

We are 2 backers away from a staggering 200 people saying they support this idea, which to me is worth more than the $7,822 we've raised — but that's awesome too! There is little more than a week in the campaign and I need everyone to keep up the buzz. If you can take a second to share the HuffPo story with your social networks it could go a long way towards achieving our second goal of $10,000! And don't forget that if we reach that goal, you get a bigger reward, too! Win-win-win, that's what we're after here!

Thanks!

    Wow. OK, you can have the ORIGINAL storyboard that I created when I first thought of this book. It's not fancy, but imagine how much Margaret Wise Brown's notes for Goodnight Moon would be worth today? Plus all the above swag.

    Not impressed with the storyboard? OK, name your reward. Want me to write, design and print a simple board book about your family? Done. Want me to show you start to finish how I created my masterpiece? Sure. Want me to teach my kids that your name is actually the word for a common household item? Why not. Want me to be your slave for a day? Well... umm... probably not. But let's talk!
