"All I have learned, I learned from books."  ~Abraham Lincoln

Being a self-published author comes with its own challenges, but any growing pains I may experience will be worth the joy of introducing children to our special character "Spot".

Thank you for taking an interest into the launch of our book, Spot: A Sea Pup's Survival Guide

MARKETING GOALS:

• Submitting book to libraries for review with the intent to host children's reading events in Summer 2017 (O.C. & L.A. county)
  
• Donate books to local Marine/Nature learning centers for kids along the coast of Calif.
  
• ​Connect & Market to Educators that are seeking eco-themed picture books ​

Dreams come true.

If you have other ideas to promote "Spot",

We would love to hear from you!
