The Patter-mice and Sleepyhead 
Why do we need your support?
Bulgaria has a small book market and being a national author and an illustrator generaly isn’t easy. When it comes to children’s literature things get even harder. The market is dominated by translated books and investment in national headlines is rare. This is depriving children of books, written in their home language, but more important –since circulation is low, the work of illustrators gets higly underestimated and so the cirlce closes. We are motivated to try to break it. «The Pattermice and Sleepyhead» is illustrated by a very talented young artist – Monika. She has chosen to follow the hard path of an illustrator and both of us believe that talent finally pays off.
What we need the money for?
The budget is planned to cover the print expences for the production of 1000 copies of the book. Expenses for gifts are also included as well as some distribution costs.
