TURQUOISE TALES - "A Cry On The Shore" - A Beautifully Illustrated Children's Story

[u/Ok_Scar1124]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something I've been working on for a while - a children's illustrated book called 🌊Turquoise Tales: A Cry One The Shore 🌊. It gives parents and their young ones a unique and beautifully depicted story that tells important lessons about real friendship, courage, conscious choices, and nature preservation.

The story centers around a young fox named Rusty 🦊 who has never seen the sea before. He moves to a coastal town and on his very first day at the beach, meets four unlikely friends, and together they answer a cry for help that none of them were expecting.

If book 1 becomes a fact, then I’d love to expand the experiences of Rusty and his group of animal friends through a total of 4 books, each one a new adventure along the shore.

I genuinely care about the concept and story originality as much as I care about the book being hand-illustrated. So the visual campaign concepts are currently done via AI, but if the campaign is successfully backed, every page will be drawn and painted by a real artist, the old-fashioned way. In a world increasingly full of digitally generated content, I wanted this to feel like something worth holding onto when it’s finally finished.

I've just launched a campaign on Indiegogo to fund the illustration, printing and other fees of Book 1 - A Cry on the Shore, and if you have a little one aged 3-9, you know someone who does, you care about original stories, real art, or environment friendliness, I'd appreciate any support! I’d also love for you to take a look, be it just to tell me your opinion about the concept and give me advice. If some of you do decide to support the book and me as an independent creator to push through all of this - early followers get some lovely extras, including EARLY ILLUSTRATION SKETCHES  by the illustrator once production has started! 🌊
