My grandson Ethan turned one last month, and I’m working on making him a little book. I’m getting it printed through Pint Size Productions, a great printing company in New York that offers Print-On-Demand printing, so I can order just one if I like.
I’m super busy this month but am trying to squeeze one animal in per day. 😀
Hope you have a great week!

I hadn’t thought of that actually! The printer I mentioned is expensive with the Print on Demand books (they are about $25 each!), but I can get a quote and find out how much it would cost to have them printed in a larger edition. I will look into it (though it might take a bit of time; I’m leaving for China Friday!). Thank you!

So cute! I adore the frog. What a lucky little boy. Even after he wears it out it will be a wonderful keepsake and he’ll want one for all of his own kids, later.

What a treasure! I Love the animals – so much personality. The originals would make great framed treasures for a child’s room too (-: If I remember which printing house is cheaper, I’ll comment again. I know there is one that a friend used. Have fun in China!

I love all your animals – especially the giraffe! Can I buy more of the giraffe postcards? They are so darling and I am using them as thank you notes.

Such fun! I did one for my granddaughter who is half Laotian, with the Laotian names underneath. This will be a forever treasure!

I would like to order 3 of the alphabet books when they are done. Hope you get enough orders to bring the price down a little. You should consider just publishing the book and having it available in your store. By the end of May I will have 8 great grandchildren who would all love to have their own copy, but at $25.00 each I’m thinking just one per family. Have a wonderful trip to China!

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and “order!”
But no worries… if I do get them published the price would be far less than $25 each… I’ve asked for a quote from the printer and so perhaps publication is in the future. Thanks!
