Ah! Just bought it and can’t wait to dive in. Loved your last book and so excited for this one.
I particularly love that you’ve written a fictional book for kids 10+ as well as adults. I just spent a couple of year writing & illustrating a book of fables for kids and adults. I feel that adults deserve to learn from stories, too! Thank you for writing and sharing this.

Stories are an excellent way to communicate, and to remember important ideas :).
I really hope you like the book! It is awesome to hear that you've written and drawn a book yourself, it's such a fun process! Are you finished with it?
Thank you! Yes, Im delighted to say that after 2.5 years of work, it’s done! I am self-publishing it with the help of a consultant. I’ll be launching multiple editions (hardcover, paperback, ebook, and also an audiobook with voices I narrated) sometime in Feb/March.
I’d love to send you a copy! I assume digital would be best so I could send over the ebook edition, or any others you’d prefer. It’s relatively short (7 fables of about 3K words each), so it’s low commitment. Let me know :)
