Well ladies and gentlemen, the book Captain Hammer & Super Sean: The Case of the missing 'G', is finally available to purchase online!!
It's done, printed, and ready to be enjoyed by one and all. Sharon Gretz from CASANA sent me 2 copies for my reference and it looks fantastic!! The kids love it and I've had so many friends and family either go online and buy one or ask me where they can get one. So many great comments and well wishes from everyone on Facebook and Twitter. You guys are all so sweet.
Now being an artist and designer, all I see when I open up the book are the errors and places I wish I had fixed before I sent it to the printer, but with the time constraints I had, this is as good as she gets. Now don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of the book and all the time and effort involved, but I am and will always be my worst critic. Just wait until the next project and/or book. Gonna blow your socks off.
I also want to say that during the later stages of the book, it occurred to me just how special this book is and what a fantastic learning tool it will be for kids with Apraxia all over the globe. Not only because my son, Kyan, was diagnosed at 2 years of age, but because I know of so many kids who struggle with Apraxia daily and will do so for many years. Kyan was a special circumstance and exceeded everyone's expectations with his speech therapy and we as a family couldn't have done it without his SLP's, Katy & Maryann, but this book is for those that will be dealing with Apraxia for many years well into their teens and even beyond. I hope that with Sue's words, my art, and the Hammer's guidance, this book will help garner awareness for this Disorder as well as be an educational tool for SLP's everywhere.
It's all for the kids!!
I hope you enjoy the book even if your kids don't have Apraxia or a speech disorder. I hope the book is a success for CASANA and we can do many more of these and really explore the world of Captain Hammer & Super Sean. I can't wait to launch the book officially in San Diego next week and see the outpouring of support for the book and CASANA.
But if we can help only one child learn to speak effectively, then we've done our job.
