Who Am I?
My name is Sarah and I am the author of a new children's book called I Wish I Were A Superhero. I'm a wife, a performer and a former children's entertainer who enjoys cosplay, roller skating and playing fetch with my dogs. I also really, really love superheroes.
My Little Superhero
The idea for I Wish I Were A Superhero came from my love of superheroes and my admiration of the imagination of children. I feel that superheroes can show children a limitless amount of possibilities; ways for having strength and doing good. My hope is that my story can inspire children to explore all interests and work hard for their goals. And, of course, dinosaurs are cool.
I am partnering with the incredible illustrator Tara Lehning of taralehning.com to create the final book. I was instantly drawn to her gorgeous art style. I loved her pieces that displayed an effortless combination of realism with a cartoon innocence. She has a true mastery of anatomy, which gives the characters, and especially the lead dinosaur, the feeling of movement and excitement. I could not be more pleased with the pieces she has already created for the book and I cannot wait to see all of the final images!
More About the Book
I Wish I Were A Superhero features a young dinosaur (so cute, right?) that plays dress-up and acts out different possibilities for the type of superhero they could be.
The charming and perfectly child-like dinosaur design can fascinate children of all backgrounds as a universally appealing lead character.
The dinosaur explores options like physical strength, speed, intelligence and technology. Nothing is off limits! They can choose any path and be amazing.
The entire story is told in a charming rhyme, sure to be a fun read for the family!

How You Can Help
The goal is to receive enough pre-orders and contributions to cover the costs of finishing the art, printing and distributing the book. After the first copies of the book are sent to campaign backers, the book will be available for on demand printing from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and hopefully from a personal author website.
Books will be shipped about 2 months after the campaign ends, ideally sooner.
