The making of the book
A Book Two Years in the Making
What you see today started as a feeling in our hearts. That feeling became a story, then some rough sketches, and then Pink and all her gummy friends started to come to life.
There's a Little Pink in All of Us
We all find ourselves in strange, scary places sometimes. People we’ve never met, journeys we’ve never taken. What Pink reminds us is that, in those moments, maybe it’s only scary until we let ourselves get to know what’s all around us.
Testimonials
Kid Tested, Mom Approved
"I read this book to my boys. They were sooo focused on it and never interrupted (which is rare!).
I think the storyline and characters were super unique and unlike anything they had seen/read! Bonus: they knew where SLO and Morro Bay were. Perfect gift for tourists/locals!!!"
