PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Update on our final illustrations that are arriving over the next month!
Hey amazing souls who helped bring our project to life!
We just wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you for all your support! We started hiring illustrators out of pocket as the idea for this book came about and once we had enough to keep the project moving forward, we launched on Backerkit!
Now, thanks to you, we’re so excited to finish hiring our talented team and bring this beautiful book to life!
We can’t wait to share the illustrations with you as we receive them in real time!
Here’s what’s currently in the works:
* Parade of Elephants
* Party of Peacocks
* Snuggle of Sloths (oh my cuteness!!)
* Kaleidoscope of Butterflies
* School of Fish
* Mischief or Storytelling of Ravens (we're still deciding since “storytelling” is a bit hard to verify as a group name, but "mischief" could add a fun twist to the story!)
* Maybe a Flamboyance of Flamingos (with disco balls, of course!)
We hope to have all the illustrations done by the end of this month and, fingers crossed, everything ready to send to print by the end of November. We’ll keep you posted on shipping timelines!
Also, keep an eye out for a survey in the next few weeks. Let us know the name you'd like next to the firefly on the end sheets of the book, or feel free to message us. Hopefully, we can include this in the survey when it’s ready.
And here is our newest illustration: Pack of dogs! xo I love these sweet little faces! Illustrated by the talened: https://www.instagram.com/sara_atashhoosh/
Thanks again for being amazing! We are so grateful for your support and promise to deliver a beautiful book!
Best,
Leigha & Heather

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Woo-Hoo!!!! We made it to goal!
We are overjoyed with gratitude for all the support and love from all our backers!!! Heather and I are excited to announce that regardless of how far we stretch past our goal, we will make the pledge to you to update all paperbacks to hardcovers regardless of our finalized goal! Sometimes you have to invest in yourself, and we think this book is way too beautiful not to bring to life its full potential!
We can't wait to spoil you! And as we continue to get additional art from our artists (helping us complete this book, we will continue to keep you updated) And if we make it to our strech goal, we will announce our next project and start working on hiring illustrators!
We love the group effort it took to make this book come to life and the group support it took to help us make our first print run! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We can't wait to complete this project and spoil all of our backers!
