I have been working on a new book to help children preparing for surgery. I wasn't planning on running a Kickstarter but have run into some issues with unanticipated costs so I've decided to launch a small Kickstarter to support this project. I'm looking forward to bringing this project to life and supporting the MANY MANY children who need surgery each day!

Thank you for supporting donating books to children that need them. I wanted to share out these pictures from ThePowerOf10 Foundation - YOUR DONATIONS MADE THIS POSSIBLE!!!
Please consider making a pledge to donate books to support children in the hospital who need surgery - it can make a world of difference! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acorncottagepress/you-had-surgery-too
Thank you so much for your support!

The Books Are Printed and Enroute!!!

Thank you so much for your patience on this project. Creating a set of three books was much more complex than I originally imagined. The illustrations were all traditionally painted watercolor and they took much more time than I planned for. In addition, multiple stages of editing to have the books work both individually as well as a set were needed as well as three books for the book designer to work on, etc.
I'm so happy to share though that the two books we have been waiting for - OOPS! and OH NO! have now been fully printed and are beautiful - I paid the final balance to the printer and the payment to the shipper and now the books are enroute via boat to us - this takes 6-8 weeks. As soon as they arrive, I will be packaging them up and shipping them out to you. Please make sure you have filled out your survey and updated to your most current address (any struggle with this, just let me know) The survey is on Backerkit. Use this link to find it:
I did get a handful of copies air flighted to me of each so let me know if you would like one of those copies - I understand this project took longer than expected and really appreciate your support! I am so excited to finally be able to share The Power of Perspective: OUCH! OOPS! OH NO! book set with the world.
With love and gratitude,
Katie, Arden, Rose, and Maggie Lockwood

OOPS! is now completely done and OH NO! is getting the finishing touches with the book designer and then both files will go to the printer for the printing run within the next couple of weeks.
OOPS! is a free Ebook today on Amazon if you would like to check it out. :)
It will take about three months for everything to arrive to me and then I will be packaging them up and bringing them to the post office to send to you.
OUCH! is at my house and available to mail if you would like to receive it before I have all three - just send me a message, I'm happy to ship it out!
Thank you all for your patience with this project - doing a set of three books with original watercolor illustrations was a bigger undertaking than I anticipated, and they spent a lot of time with editors to ensure the message was exactly what I wanted it to be. I'm so excited for them to get to you!
Love,
