You Sparkle Inside is a brand-new children's book featuring written by poet Rachel Kann and illustrated by painter Rin Colabucci.

We believe the time has arrived for this message, and we are ready to share it with all children (of all ages!) on this big beautiful planet of ours.

Here's the nutshell version of the story:

You are made out of atoms. That's what stars are made out of. Hence, you are made of starstuff, which is awesome. We are all made of startstuff. Some people forget they are made of starstuff. Don't let them get you down. We need you to shine. When you shine, we remember to shine, too!

We hope you will help us spread our love worldwide.

We are so close to getting this project into the hands of children of all ages everywhere, and we want to make sure you know about it so you can spread the sparkle around!

We understand the desire to check the book out before buying. And we are ready to give you a sneak peek!

Check out some of Rin's amazing artwork from the book, with major thanks to our amazing co-creator, designer extraordinaire Emily Sperling:

The opening pages of You Sparkle Inside...

Ok, hi, it's me, Rachel...can you even stand how GORGEOUS Rin's paintings are? What about Emily's inspired layout and design? I just can't wait to hold this in my hands and give it to every kid I love...which is every kid...I hope you are loving the book so far. I hope you want to buy it for everyone.

Risks and challenges

This project is locked in. We are extremely confident that we are bring it fruition. In fact, that is an ironclad promise. The book is completely written, the paintings are completely painted, our amazing co-creator, designer extraordinaire Emily Sperling has completed the layout, which is being sent to the printer. We are, as they say, good to go. We just want to get it out to as many people as possible.
