I'm gonna Hijack this comment to repost some information about the book.
This Was Home is a childrenโs picture book that features a dark and twisting journey through one boyโs fears and insecurities made manifest: damp caves, shifty monsters, and whether heโll ever feel at home again.
Hereโs a link to purchase it: http://www.richmondyoungwriters.com/picture-book-project
All proceeds go to supporting Richmond Young Writers, the group that did the hard work of facilitating and publishing this project. I love RYW with ever droplet of ink I have ever put to paper, and I greatly appreciate any purchase of my book or any others.
The incredible illustrator I worked with put forth all of this work for free. If you want to check him out, hereโs a link to his website: http://www.mikezaweski.com/
The release is fairly limited so I can't say whether or not it can ship overseas, unfortunately. The book will be in print between now and some time in December.
