We should be receiving the original artwork and getting all the layout done in

the next 3 weeks. Then we will be sending it out for an initial small print run

to ensure that everything looks perfect before doing a larger run of books that

will be available for people to purchase.

great fundraiser. My goal would be to sell 2,000 in the first yea - allowing us

as a group to raise about 25,000 - 30,000 for ISOP! I know they would make a

great addition to libraries, doctor's offices, friends and families book

collections! I know that I am going to see if the small local bookstores will be

willing to sell them as well.

Hija, I was just wondering if the book is geared towards a specific age range?

I would say that it is maybe 3-6 ish. I'm not great at this. I do think that

kids a bit younger will think it is fun and so will kids a bit older. I think

the metaphor will really work for adults as well who read it with their kids.

Russ is working on the copywriting the story tonight and hopefully he will get

up a full PDF of the story (illustrations and text) on our personal website soon

so that people can view the book and see what we have done.
