Help us relaunch ABC's with the Vejigantes!

Help this two-time award-winning children's book find new life after unexpectedly going out of print!

Can you imagine the excitement of releasing your first children's book and not only having it do well, but also win not one award, but two? Exciting, right? You celebrate and you share the good news and set up events to promote this successful book...

Only to discover that the publisher, due to unforeseen circumstances, is having to close down operations and your bright little award-winning gem is suddenly no more.

Devastating. Absolutely devastating.

This is the story of Liz DeJesus (winner of the 2023 Delaware Individual Artist Fellowship: Emerging Literature: Creative Non-fiction), Amber Davis, and ABCs with the Vejigantes (awarded 1st place at the 2023 Delaware Press Association Communications Contest Awards and 1st place at the 2023 NFPW Professional Communications Contest). 

With your help, it doesn't have to be the end of the story.

Shall we resurrect this book in a bigger and better version before the dropped pages have even settled? 

I think we can!

Giving Tuesday

Today is Giving Tuesday. After we stuffed ourselves with turkey, shopped til we dropped on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Please consider giving (no matter the amount) to your favorite charity. If you can't think of one, please consider donating to the National Fibromyalgia Association in memory of my darling girl, Kristen L Corbett. It was an ailment she suffered from that took away a lot in her life. I miss her so much. I think of her every single day. There's not a single moment where I don't think of her or wonder what she'd say or do if she were still here. https://www.fmaware.org

Thanks to Sticker Mule for these awesome stickers and keychains. One of Kristen’s biggest wishes was to have a holo Macatrons sticker. When things open up again and it’s safe to do comic cons and stuff I’ll have these with me. As always a portion of the proceeds will go to charity in her honor. Also stay tuned....some fun news is on the horizon. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnCgR5jmff/?igshid=11u2czbcldusc

On my way home from work today I was thinking about Kristen (The Greatest Showman soundtrack was playing and that was one of our favorite musicals) and her absence feels as though someone covered up the sun. And I started to think... what if it had been the other way around? Would she have felt the same way? And then it occurred to me that we were each other’s sunshine. Even though she’s gone and ... God I miss her every day. I need to start looking within myself for that sunshine. I’m trying, bit by bit. It’s hard, but at least I’m trying.

It’s been over 3 years since I’ve cracked this file open. I’m not sure I’m ready. I poured so much of my friendship between me and Kristen into Bianca and Ming. It’ll be hard to write this book so no promises. But I tinkered with the first page. So that’s something...baby steps. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMal0p4DoVg/?igshid=1jge4ivptk088
