This was a Feeding tube awareness week segment our local news did last February, it was so nice everyone who recognized us in public was nothing but excited and supportive. And now with the book I hope it brings these life saving devices out into the light even more.
Promotion, promotion, promotion...
It's the name of the game right now in the book publishing process.
Manuscript, editing...check
Illustrations getting fine tuned...check
Book size, price, gloss/matte...check
Exploring press kits...check
Author photo by the amazing Mary @ queenelizabethphotography.com (Helena folks can contact her for all thier photo needs :-) )...check!!
So please help me by following me on Instagram (needlesmama) and a Facebook page to come which I will keep you all updated on.
Tell your friends, family and all other tubies what's coming..."My Belly has two buttons" I hope will encourage your child to love their feeding tube and in turn love the body they live in, and that it will help non-tubies to understand our lives with these amazing kids even a little bit better.
It's not easy but it's always worth trying to give others the tools to understand and empathize when they may not have a medically complex child/family member.
So LET'S GET EXCITED!!!
Estimated E-book launch August 15th, and hard copy hopefully by August 30th.
