Teddy's Last Christmas

by Patrick Angelo

​

About this project:

The first book my mother read to me was the Three Little Pigs.      

I remember and will never forget, cuddling up next to her as she played the Big Bad Wolf, attempting to blow down a brick house. Or the softness of her voice as she shared a story with me. So, was born my love of Children's books and the stories they share with us.                                                  

                          "Story Time;" something, I in turn, wish to share with you.

Concept Book art:

 

Soon after, as I learned to read for myself. It was like an entire World, I never knew existed "Suddenly Belonged To Me!" Opening at my feet and all I had to do, was “Step Inside.” Since then I have read Hundreds of Books in nearly every free moment I have, as my mom can attest to. It is My Great Love!!! The friend found in Jane Austen. The laughter, fun and adventure found in Percy Jackson. The Scamp found in Mark Twain. The magic of Christmas found in "The Night before Christmas" sitting under the tree.

And then my brother told me of a story, he wanted to have put into book form Hearing the joy and flow of the words unfold and the Heart and Hope, found in the Story. The same Story I have written in order to tell you, from His Heart and Mine. So you can share it with your children in the hopes that they can have Memories like mine.

 What We Need & What You Get: 

 

Cost Breakdown:

All right let’s break it down: first and foremost my goal is to get this book into as many "Sticky Little Hands" as possible. This means publishing it, getting it formatted, having the Illustrations painted, getting it launched, promoting and just getting the                                                                                      “Word Out There." 

​

And Don't Forget When You Back Us

 "You'll unlock new rewards." 

 

Hardcover Format:  

It costs about three time as much to print a High-Quality Hardcover as it does a Soft Cover but it also tend to last longer and be more durable under Little Hands. 

​

Audiobook: 

This is something, we would really love to see happen, I mean beyond awesome!!!!!

Special Collector’s edition hardcover modeled after the book concept art featured in the video. A special Collectors Limited Edition hand-signed leather-bound hardcover. A book designed to give you the gift, of a glimpse into a time gone. But not forgotten, a time of simple elegant classic beauty, joy and into childhood magic. Printed and bound in a way meant to bring you into one of those moments. You sitting in front of the fire or the lights of the Christmas tree, as you run your hands along with the cover and settling into a well-loved story.

We would like to send one hundred copies of Teddy's last Christmas to the Read to a Child Program, much like another awesome project did. Which we thought was beyond cool!  

 

The Impact: 

 

This is my dream and you My Fairy Godmothers and Godfathers would be the ones Making it Come True!!!!
