Hey, delightful humans with feelings!
We just hit our digital coloring pages stretch goal, and we are SO psyched to provide you (and any smaller humans in your lives) with feelings creatures that that you can make your own. All backers will receive those coloring pages in Spring 2022!
We've got a little less then 23 (twenty three!!!) hours to go in this campaign, so now would be an awesome day to share the campaign one last time, so we can spread the good word that YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID to as many grownups and kiddos as we possibly can.
Thank you so much for all your support and enthusiasm — we are as excited as ever to make this book a reality and couldn't have done it without you.
As always, your feelings are valid,
Lillie & nina
We can’t believe it, there’s just one week left in our campaign! The past few weeks have just flown by, particularly the last nine days, in which we (nina and Lillie) got to hang out IN PERSON in Santa Fe, NM. It was a blast, especially after many months of working together remotely on this here campaign :D (Pro-tip: Meow Wolf is the bomb.) Now that we’re back in our respective homes and children/nieces are back in daycare/preschool, we’re excited to finish this campaign strong and get some books into your hands. 🦑 📚 🦑
We’ve blown right past our fancy, illustrated end papers stretch goal, and are less than $500 away from reaching our digital coloring pages stretch goal!! If you could give this project one more boost to your friends and family, we would so appreciate your support in the final stretch.
Thanks again for all your support, and as always, your feelings are valid!

Hi all!
Amazing news! We’ve hit our first stretch goal and will be able to print the books using offset printing! YAY! We’re also just SO close to reaching the second goal, which will allow us to include gorgeous illustrated endpapers on the inside covers of the book — if you haven't yet, please do share the project with anybody in your life who experiences feelings!
Our next stretch goal is a little more ambitious. If we hit $8,000, nina will illustrate coloring pages, which we’ll distribute to all backers digitally, so you can print at home (or at an office? are those a thing?). The pages will include some never before seen creatures and feelings! We really hope we hit this goal, because we would LOVE to see y'all's creations.
We are so incredibly grateful for all of your support and your enthusiasm for helping kids and their grownups learn how to name their feelings and accept them <3 <3 <3

PS: Don't forget! If you are a backer who has shared this project with your family, friends, or coworkers, we'd love to send you a little surprise along with your book — just fill out this form to let us know: https://forms.gle/nC3ha4NvGuRK5tzw9
Y'all! We did it! We hit our baseline goal, and will be able to get books into your hands. Can you believe it? We barely can. Thank you SO SO much for helping make our dream a reality.
We're adding two stretch goals to the project, to make the final product even more amazing: upgrading to offset printing, and adding illustrated end papers.
If we raise $5,500, we'll be able to print enough books to have them printed using offset printing, which is a bit cleaner than digital printing and also has more consistent colors than digital printing.
If we raise $6,500, we'll be able to have printed end papers (the paper glued to the inside cover of a hardbound book)! nina has so many ideas for beautiful patterns involving some of the creatures (and maybe letters?) from the book.
We think these are both possible with everyone's help getting out the word! (And/or you could also buy more copies of the book? lol.)
your feelings are valid,
nina & Lillie
