Hi everyone,

It's been about 10 days since our last update, which kind of feels like forever, no? But, you all have kept us moving forward and look where we are - we've gotten past $350,000 in pledges! 

So now we have unlocked the pearlescent print of the Volume 1: Early Years softcover art (8.5"x11") for all physical reward tier backers ($65 and $199 tiers):

Pearlescent print of the Volume 1: Early Years softcover art

We're so appreciative of you all continuing to show up for this campaign, so as a special thank you as we head into the weekend, we wanted to give you all a new add-on! Behold - the Sylvia T-shirt!

Sylvia T-Shirt - Now Available To Add-On!

This beauty comes in sizes Small through XL at $35, and then sizes 2XL and 3XL for $38! 

Tentative Size Chart and Product Details (NOT FINAL - SUBJECT TO CHANGE):

SIZES NOT FINAL - SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Regular fit, Stone Wash - Lightweight, 4.7 oz, 32-Singles, 100% combed cotton Construction Crew neck, stone wash finish with a worn look, neck ribbing, side seamed, shoulder to shoulder tape, double needle hems, preshrunk to minimise shrinkage.

How Do I Add This If I've Already Pledged?

To add these if you've already pledged, go to the campaign page and at the top click the "Manage Your Pledge" button (this might only be available to do in a browser and not via the Kickstarter app):

Then click "Change Your Pledge":

You'll be able to re-select your pledge tier, which will then bring you to the "Add-Ons" section, where you can select the shirt:

IMPORTANT: You will select the size of your shirt during the survey you will receive in the following weeks, AFTER the Kickstarter ends. 2XL and 3XL backers will be charged an additional $3 during this time as well.

But, we're stopping there - it's time for us to announce our next stretch goal reward! If we reach $450,000 in pledges, both softcover and hardcover bundles will receive book enhancements!

Softcover Book Enhancement:

All softcover book covers will now receive embossing and foil stamping!

Hardcover Book Enhancement:

All hardcover volumes will now receive 1 additional illustration, increasing the total number of illustrations per book to 11!

Good news all-around. We hope you all have a great weekend, and thank you so very much again for all the love and support! ❤️🥰
