How far this goes, locally and everywhere else, depends on how successful the campaign is. This is something I hope to do a lot of fun things with, beyond this book. \u00a0I hope you will take a look at this campaign and consider pledging to get your copy of the book and help me get it out to as many awesome kids as I can!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE CAMPAIGN Well the Kickstarter project that I have been mentioning here and there on my
