Charles is the main character of the book! A little hamster with big dreams of becoming an artist! Damien is Charles' (slightly) older twin brother. He is missing his right eye. Thistle is Charles' mentor and art teacher, a spunky hedgehog! Her girlfriend Fennel the rabbit might not make art, but she appreciates it and helps Thistle wherever she can.

Yeah it sounds counter-intuitive that the larger book costs less than the tiny book. It's all about standards! The regular-sized paperback is a standard print size. The printer already has all the right equipment and settings to produce lots of books at that size, and we can order as many or as few as we want at a low price! Comparing to the mini book... 2x3 inches is not a regular print size at all! We also have to order these mini books in bulk, so we don't have the flexible pricing that regular-sized books have.

STICKERS: - Shippable worldwide!!! Cost will be between $1-2 USD. BOOKS: - EEA (EU and Northern Ireland) cannot be shipped to due to GPSR requirements, sorry! - UK residents should email [email protected] for shipping options before pledging. - All other countries (USA, Canada, etc) can be shipped to! Cost will likely be between $6-20 USD. Note that the regular-sized book will be available through various online retailers worldwide after the campaign! And of course, DIGITAL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE!

The eBook will be available as an EPUB file direct from this campaign. This format is widely supported by Nook, Kobo, Apple, and more. Kindle is also supported through the "Send to Kindle" service. Note the eBook file will be approximately 1.5MB.

The Audiobook will be available as an MP3 file direct from this campaign. Unfortunately many digital libraries don't allow direct uploads of books to their libraries. We will be adding the Audiobook onto those services, but they will be a separate purchase outside of this campaign.

This is because we have limited certain products from being available for certain countries. Please read the shipping FAQ for more information about what countries we can ship the books or other products to.

It does not. The funding and stretch goals are contributed to by this campaign's funding only. The separate Printopia "All Ages" funding bar shows progress towards the event goals which include other goodies. Learn more at https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/printopia-2026

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
