From the incredible S Bear Bergman:
“I'll keep this short: we have amazing books being worked on right now for the 2019 season. A non-binary kid goes to space and meets great and gracious planets (see above!), a trans boy works so hard to be good at sports and discovers it doesn't matter that he really isn't, kids of divorced parents create a beautiful synergy between their households, student leaders introduce their parents and friends to animals whose bodies and mating patterns are queer, trans, and intersex, Hawaiian kids teach and learn about colors while their older brother gives them breakfast, and a slate of tremendous poets create power poems to help children find their power.
Don't you want these amazing books?
We can't make them without your pre-orders. We need to find 450 more people to order sets of books — which is both not that many and a whole lot — by December 30th or the Kickstarter fails and we get $0. There will be no more Flamingo Rampant books. Schools and libraries absolutely cannot order books until they exist, so we need you to do at least one of three things:
-Pre-order a set of books for your home or office. They will arrive to your home in the summer, and they will be delightful.
-Pre-order a set of books to donate. You don’t even have to donate them yourself! When the books are ready, if you don’t have a place in mind you can just tick a box and we will send them to a school on your behalf
-Email or text your friends. Social media is nice but it doesn’t help us as much. What works is a personal note via email or text, in which you tell your friends why you think our work is important and encourage them to join you in backing the project.”
