Hello everyone,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I will be starting a crowdfunding campaign June 19th to help with funding my children’s books project. The Just Imagine…What if there were no Black People in the World Series, book one, Jaxon’s Magical Adventure with Black Inventors and Scientists will be out in October. Advanced copies will be available in September. Along with the print book and ebook, I have created Jaxon’s journal, a coloring book and a work-puzzle book that are directly related to book one.
My goal is to place the books into libraries, schools, children organizations and provide teachers with information that will hopefully enable them to incorporate Black history into their curriculum with ease.
t is my opinion that children might be more engaged in school if they were introduced to people they can relate to and feel good about their accomplishments. Historical figures can provide a mentoring effect and provide children with career options as well.
This is a big project and with your help I can reach out to and get in front of as many schools, libraries and children’s organizations that I can. They say it takes a village to raise a child, it will also take a village to ensure this project is a success. Your help with the printing and marketing will enable me to do just that, be successful.
Talk to you again soon!
