My pallet of books which weighs 215 pounds is on its way. It doesn’t look exactly like this, but you get the idea. The books are coming! I started working on “What Do Toes Do?” back in the late winter, and now, about 7 months later, the books will arrive. How exciting is that? 

Why do I hope you’ll support my campaign? Giving away books is a privilege and no matter what happens I will do it. I’ve already committed to giving books to all the libraries in my state, to a NICU in Springfield, MA, and to Read to Grow–a wonderful nonprofit that gets books to families who can’t afford them. And I’m sending books to my talented illustrator in Indonesia, and giving others to those who helped me along the way including several staff members of my local library. 

I will sell some of my books, too, at my local bookstore and at craft fairs, story times, etc. Between those sales and my Kickstarter Campaign, I will be able to afford to begin work on the next book in the series, which might be “What Does Your Nose Do?” I will, of course, use the same illustrator–she is wonderful. So if you can, please think about being part of something special and your generosity will live on in all the babies and toddlers who receive the books.
