WE DID IT!! (but we can do a little more)
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 15, 2020 at 06:04:56 AM

AHHHH! We hit the big giant $25,000 goal!

But, hey, I know you're in for the even BIGGER mission of getting MORE free books and mental wellness tools to kids, so let's make this last day AMAZING.

There are so many easy-peasy ways to get our numbers UP:

• click the link to visit the campaign page and up your pledge!
• share the campaign with your friends, family, and followers!
• did you know I'm hosting a donation-based webinar for aspiring authors, and I have a literary agent coming on to share industry secrets? get more info here and SHARE!

Just $2000 more will cover our Kickstarter processing fees and put more cash into the book program for schools. LET'S DO IT! (Can you hear me yelling from New Jersey??)

Please say "YES"

*deep breathes*

We're almost there, friends! We're almost to the $25,000 goal that will make this campaign a HUGE success that 30 days ago only existed in my imagination.

I'm overwhelmed by the generosity of my community, and I'm hoping you'll stretch just a little bit further to not only help reach the goal, but to blow past it to cover all of the processing fees (which add up to about 10% or $2,500).

Can I ask you to click on the campaign link or visit the campaign at BigMessyBooks.com to adjust your pledge by just $11?

Add $11 to your pledge OR upgrade to a higher reward level. (Did you know I made both Zara books available in Spanish??)

I'm hoping you'll say yes, but know that I'm so grateful that you've contributed already and expect nothing more... your faith in me and my project has made my heart full.

[But before you go, watch my niece, Bella Michael, read Zara's Big Messy Day.]

Get the "Big Messy" books in Spanish!

Yup, you read that right!

I just added options to get both Zara's Big Messy Day AND Zara's Big Messy Bedtime in softcover Spanish-language translations!

Pre-ordering your copies is as easy as visiting our pledge page using the link in your email or by going to BigMessyBooks.com and updating your pledge.

And shipping to the United States is still FREE!
