Hey friends, thanks for tuning in to another episode of Tory Dealing With where each episode

is short, sweet, and the perfect thing to enjoy in the morning just like your coffee.

This week I am thrilled to finally be talking about one of the biggest secrets that I've

kept for the past two years, and that is my kids' book.

The book is called The Adventures of Bumble P and Koala Pear at the Search for Serup.

Yes, that's right, the main characters in this book are composites of our favorite

furry animals and food, and it all takes place in a delicious breakfast land.

We have them up in mountain, the waffle windmill, the pancake palace.

There are so many original places and characters in this book I'm telling you it's amazing.

I will be joined by none other than my co-creator and the illustrator, my best friend Vera.

For the past three years, Vera and I have been working on this project in secret, and

we are finally telling the world about it.

If you're a creator yourself, then this episode will be really helpful.

We're going to give you insight into what it took to create and self-publish a children's

book.

If you're not a creator, then this episode will still be incredibly enjoyable because you'll

get to hear all the behind the scenes of what it takes for any artist to put out a passion

project.

So without any further ado, please give a warm welcome to my best friend Vera.

Hello, I'm so honored to be back on your podcast.

Oh my gosh, this is the third time you've done a podcast with me.

We did the tarot one, we did the meditation one, and now we have the kids' book one.
