// Edition 027 Touching distance

It's now or never to help us get over the line

We are almost there, within tantalizing touching distance of our mountaintop, but in the final push to reach it we need your help before it is too late.

Today and tomorrow are the last two full days of our Kickstarter campaign.

This is it.

We’ve had so many great backers who have bent the curve upwards and put us within reach. But, if we don’t hit our goal we can’t print the books.

So if you have been thinking about backing our project, it’s now or never.

And we’ve added another reward to sweeten the deal. Do you have a burning question about book publishing? Perhaps science writing or photography?

For £10 you can ask myself or Alli anything about these areas and more in which we can provide insight and value.

All the information about Draw This Book: Pirate Adventure and Animal Party is on our Kickstarter project page. We’ve shared the why we’re making these books and why we think the children in your lives will love them.

Books are wonderful things. They have the power to spark imagination, a presence and tactility that enhances learning, memory and understanding¹.

By asking the children to become the illustrator and draw themselves into the adventure our books are interactive.

Because of this, Draw This Book has been recommended for children with reading difficulties by the education materials provider Twinkl. It has also been suggested that they could be useful for neurodivergent children or those with special education needs (SEN).

Please back the project by pledging your pre-order for Draw This Book using the button below and sharing it as widely as possibly with your networks and people whose children you think will love these books.

Thank you again for your support!

Ed and Alli
