My name is Pacha. I've always had big dreams. One evening, after an asthma attack, my mom comforted me with some magical pajamas that changed my life. That night the plants and animals on my pajamas came alive in my dream and organized the biggest festival in the history of Planet Earth. I was the only human there! Through this dream, I realize that my story is about growing into a Pop Star with a message, spreading the word about our interdependence with nature and each other. We are all sharing one planet, let’s start acting like it!
Kat, thanks for being a part of this fantastic voyage. You are backer through Kickstarter. What about becoming a "backr" through Appbackr, and get a return of 54%. It would really help at the moment. http://www.appbackr.com/app/Nature-Superhero
This story is fantastic!!!
Good luck to creators and all of those involved in this project for children. We're Kevin's family and happy to contribute to any worthwhile projects.
Yahoo! We made it! Thanks to everyone to who upped their pledge, everyone who told someone, everyone who contributed. We did it together!
And Life is Heller, thanks for the final push.
Saw you needed $15 more so we upped our pledge by $15 more! Congrats!
Good luck! Hoping your good luck rubs off on us too!
Nature sustains us and is our greatest healer :~) Here's more details about the consultation you can elect to receive when you contribute $150 or more to the campaign. Looking forward to working with you and collectively celebrating the success of Pacha's Pajamas!

This project is so much fun. Mos Def sounds great as narrator and I love the new song, "Butterfly Life" by Talib Kweli!
Just wanted to let folks know that the next update will be about a $2425 match that we just received! That means when we hit our Kickstarter goal, we will get another $2425. It also means that anyone who contributes between $1465 to $3890, will see the power of their contribution doubled!
If you or anyone that may be interested in doing a match or works for a company that will match funds donated to 501c3 organizations, please contact me at your earliest convenience!
Thanks Kent! I totally feel you about the pictures. Fingers crossed that in the next edition we will be able to have more imagery an at some point, real hand drawn or painted (and probably computer modified) illustrations. Glad that Elanor enjoyed the book; and I imagine some of it was the story. Did you get a chance to let her hear the music? Keep the feedback coming.
Hi Pacha's Creators,
I love all the momentum you guys are building. Nice work! I can clearly see your passion for your work ... the #1 most important thing!
Hey I hope you guys don't mind my writing but here is my feedback after reading the book "Pacha's Pajamas" to my friend's 10 year old daughter, Elanor.
First, Elanor is probably a great example of someone to target with the product - young, bright, socially conscious, lives in an urban city environment and not a lot of contact with nature. When I visited her over the holiday, I gave her a copy of Pacha's.
So anyways, before we could read Pacha's, Elanor brought me her own book, which is a book about the human body that has lots of pictures and flip out drawings. I think it was the one called "See Inside Your Body" by Katie Daynes. I noticed right away that Elanor was really engaged by the pictures and lift out flaps. I think she wants to be a doctor some day. I read Pacha's to Elanor next, and she also liked that one, though I am not sure if it was the fact I was reading to her that she liked or was it the actual book! I realize that Pacha's is an entirely different kind of book than the science book, telling about a little girl's dream of being part of nature. Nevertheless, I think seeing Elanor's interaction with the 2 books is instructive. Kids like pictures, and the more pictures you can include in the book, the better.
It also occurred to me while I was reading to Elanor that it's nice to be able to point at a picture and say, "see, look at that walrus" or "is that the gorilla mask for Pacha?" (actually we were both unsure of this, because in the one drawing in Pacha's Pajamas that shows the gorilla mask under the tree, it could also be mistaken for the mushroom I think.)
So pictures are useful for the adults who are reading to the kids, too.
I am excited by your Chabot program and will try to make it out on Dec. 10th!
Good luck in all your endeavors. Keep up the good work!
Hey folks, we'd love to get your feedback and/or questions here.
Here's a question for you:
Now that we are in the beginning of the Christmas/holiday season, we considering a new frame for getting folks interested in the campaign. Below is what we are thinking. What do you think?
Subject Line: Put a Lil Green UNDER your Tree!
Greetings!
'Tis the season for gifting green!
While most of the STUFF that goes under Christmas trees this season will not likely be Earth-friendly, YOU have options for greening the gifts under your tree such as Pacha's Pajamas book and music. Our softcover book Pacha's Pajamas: A Story Written By Nature is made with recycled paper and soy inks! It is the story of a little girl who dreams of uniting the planet via a music festival starring a host of singing plants and dancing animals! The story teaches kids about our impact on nature, cooperation and balance.
