Did you know the Original Wonderful Wizard of Oz book was pretty violent?
While off to see the Wizard, the Tinman kills wolves, the Scarecrow kills crows, and the Cowardly Lion kills a spider? Dorothy kills two witches, and don't even ask how the Tinm...

Almost there! Just 7 Days Left to Make the Wonderful Wizard of Oz Book Accessible to Blind and Deaf Children!
Hello, my friends, family and fellow children's book lovers. I'm sending you this email through my Booktopia campaign at BackerKit. I am less than $1,000 away from my all or not...
My apologies to all my supporters to make the Wonderful Wizard of Oz book accessible. Right after the Booktopia crowdfunder closed, I ended up having a surgical procedure on my back that sidelined me for a couple of weeks. I'm new to Backerkit, which hosted Booktopia, and I'm just getting started on their fulfillment process. You will be hearing from me in the next week - I'm at a conference Fri-Mon, so I can ask you for your email and mailing address information, if needed. I'll be sending out the surveys as soon as I can.
I could not have hit my goal to make the original Wizard of Oz accessible to blind and deaf children possible without your support! A reminder - some wonderful physical rewards are still available. If you purchase one of them, it can be for yourself, or I will donate it to the Rocky Mountain Deaf School! Just let me know.
While off to see the Wizard, the Tinman kills wolves, the Scarecrow kills crows, and the Cowardly Lion kills a spider? Dorothy kills two witches, and don't even ask how the Tinman became the Tinman!
If you help me make it possible, we will produce an accessible PG version of the book (OK, the witches still meet their demise) for children 3-8. The pictures will be described in the 4-hour long audio and video versions, with sign language, captions, and a downloadable braille file.
Just 5 days left! Wonderful rewards for pledges. Please contact me if you have any trouble pledging. I have a PayPal option.
Hello, my friends, family and fellow children's book lovers. I'm sending you this email through my Booktopia campaign at BackerKit. I am less than $1,000 away from my all or nothing goal to be able to create this accessible video and audiobook version of the Oz book, with a cast of all blind or low vision voice actors (including myself). If just one children's book author pledges to make their own book accessible, I will be very close to my goal. Please pledge what you can. If you have trouble registering or paying, you can send your pledge to me on PayPal at [email protected], and I will apply it to the campaign.
