Tooth Tales update
Hello,
A lot has been going on not only with the book progress but as well with my own personal life. Many of you know that I am a mother to a soon to be teenage daughter who has a very active social life, lol. On top of all the other extra curricular she does, she plays on a lacrosse team that season started.
I am still getting used to our new schedule, and finding time to do all things that are important to us all.
I do have some exciting updates to share with you about the book. We are meeting with the printer tomorrow, we went through the scanning process of the illustrations and are now ready to start the official layout of the book!! I am so pleased with how they will look once printed! We also received our copyright last week!!
The next stage will take us through the next three weeks and then we will submit the layout for print, very exciting!
I know most backers have responded to the Kickstarter survey re – the name you want printed as the backer in the book, Thank you. If you haven’t had a chance please do so. We will need this information by May 8 in order to get organized for the printer. If we do not hear from you, the name given when you pledged will be the name used.
Take care and have a great couple of weeks!!
Tanya

Article Highlighted on Tamil Culture
Today Tamil Culture included an article written by our own very talented Thadshiga Jayaseelan (editor and partner of Tooth Tales – Lucy’s Loose Tooth). They not only ran the article but it is the top article of the day!!
I encourage you to read this article as it focuses on our extremely talented illustrator Kannishaa Loganathan and highlights the importance of supporting and encouraging artists to follow their passion; even when it means veering off a more traditional path.
We are so glad to have Kannishaa on our team and I hope this article inspires other young Tamil artist to not just doodle quietly but to shine brightly like they were meant to!

5 THINGS KIDS THINK THE TOOTH FAIRY DOES WITH THEIR TEETH
NO. 1 – She builds a castle or house with them
NO. 2 – She recycles them
NO. 3 – She makes new teeth for people who don’t have any
NO. 4 – She turns them into magic
NO. 5 – UMMMMMMM…No clue
Take a look at our YouTube page to see some funny videos on what happens when kids imaginations run wild!
Half Way mark on our Kickstarter Campaign!
Hi there, we are at the half way mark on our Kickstarter campaign and couldn’t be more excited to announce we are at half way of our goal for funding!!!!
This accomplishment would not be possible without the support and involvement of so many wonderful people we are surrounded by. So from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much!!
Let’s keep this wonderful momentum going as we are only two weeks away from the end date. Please check our backers list which is updated daily and if there are still people that you were hoping would support, please send follow ups. and if there is any information you need please ask.
Here’s to another wonderful week!

Today is world story telling day!!
I encourage everyone out there to take time today to sit down with a friend or family member and tell each other a memorable story.
How about a grandparent telling their grandchildren about life without p-pods (as my grandpa would say) or talking with a friend about family traditions celebrated in your culture.
We all learn and grow from the ones we surround ourselves with, so be thankful for everyone in your life that teaches you a little something!
