Support Tonette's Dream: Arctic Sun Children's Book

I’m Tonette and a writer. I lived for ten years 180 miles north of the Arctic Circle. I’m raising funds to be able to publish my first children’s book about what it is like to see the sun after not seeing it for about two months.

I have an illustrator who also lives that far north and understands what the illustrations should look like. The photo above is the first one she created. We are self publishing and the cost is about $4000 to get started. We would like to be able to publish this book with more in the future to help people understand what it is like to live that far north.

We have been working on this book for nine months now and are just about ready to take it to the publisher. The pictures included here are just samples of some of her art work. We have decided to include a couple of different mediums for the book and we are so excited to finally get it published to be able to share with all of you!

I am positive that the whole family will enjoy this book that not only has wonderful pictures, but has action words that can be acted out. Following is a couple of examples of how the book reads.

”It’s too dark and cold to get out of bed!”

Mom calls that it is time to get up for school. Snuggle, snuggle, snuggle.

”Isn’t it time for the sun to come back?”

I walk through the snow on my way to school in the dark. Trudge, trudge, trudge.

”It’s so dark, I’m so tired, I want to go home and sleep!”

The bell rings to go into the school. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

Please share this fundraiser with all your friends and family so we can publish this book, “The Sun Comes Back”, so everyone can enjoy it.
