The Oreo Cat and Atchoum The Cat tackle bullying in an upcoming children's book!
In order to complete this project WE NEED YOUR HELP!! The process of creation through to publication is a tedious one that requires a lot of devotion and hard work! Paired with the publishing costs, we are in need of help funding this awesome project! So many of you have expressed your joy in this upcoming book and we want so much to be able to finish production! We hope that this first book will lead to more to come!
Atchoum The Cat and The Oreo Cat are two feline internet celebrities from Quebec Canada. Oreo is a handsome, black-and-white fella who loves telling jokes, eating “bacons,” and giving his mom a hilariously hard time, mostly regarding when she’s going to cook him dinner already. Atchoum, a hairy Persian with piercing amber eyes that can see directly to the center of your soul. The reason he’s so furry? He has hypertrichosis, a disorder that causes abnormal hair growth, making Atchoum look like a tiny Ewok.
Together, these two celebrity cats want to help teach children the moral value of how being different is what makes us all special and unique! Written and illustrated by Tina Modugno and translated by Nathalie Coté, "Atchoum and Oreo's First Day of School" is a heartwarming story about two best friends who face issues with bullying at school. Below is an excerpt from the work in progress:
~ The bus stopped just then and the doors opened wide.
“Come on boys!” the driver said, “Climb up inside!”
Everyone was sitting in rows of two by two.
“Look Atchoum!” said Oreo, “There’s a seat for me and for you!”
As they sat down they heard gasps and then laughter;
The boys looked around wondering what was the matter.
“You look like a dog!” said an orange tabby, pointing at Atchoum.
“If my mother were here, she’d shoo you out with a broom.”
“You look like a wolf” said a cat with fur all white.
“Do you howl at the moon in the middle of the night?”
They all began to laugh, except Atchoum and his best friend; “Don’t listen to them Atchoum,” said Oreo.
“We can make believe it’s just us here. I know it’s hard but just pretend.” ~
This book will be published by Tina Modugno and available in both english and french.
Our intent with this book is to donate one dollar from each sale towards the purchase of books for elementary schools. We want as many kids as possible to be able to read and learn from this story! We hope that you are as excited as we are about this project and that you will help us on our journey!
If we pass our goal of $2400, any surplus amount will go towards purchasing and donating our book to schools.
Thank you all for being a part of this experience!
