The illustration process (that began in October of last year) is now nearly complete. Suddenly, I'm getting major cold feet and I'm super nervous about the whole process of self-publishing that lays ahead!

I publicly shared the (almost) ready-to-go cover image on my IG just now...and my stomach is in knots!

Firstly, I can't believe this is starting to come to fruition; it's starting to look like a legit book! 

Secondly, I am not well-versed in the journey of self-publishing, which I had (blindly) thrown myself into with the notion that I'd learn as I go, because my grit usually pulls me through. Well, I've grossly underestimated the costs that come with self-publishing, and I'm now terrified to do offset printing because I'm having doubts about the actual success of my book without a marketing team and much of a presence on my author social media page.

So, I'm trying to gauge interest to at least figure out if I should make 100 copies, or more like 5 copies of this book... 😅

Would you be interested in getting a copy of this children's book that I hope will inspire quality time between caregiver and child through an engaging (and yummy) hands-on activity? 

If so, would you want an English-only version, or a bilingual English & Chinese version?

Thank you so much for reading, sweet friends.

Warm wishes,
