From the Author
When we started writing children's books, our audience was small. Really small. Three people in fact.
They were a tough crowd. Short attention spans. Openly and unashamedly critical. Sometimes they would even throw food at us. They cared very little about paper quality or book dimensions or trending keywords. Those three fans, our kids, only cared about one thing... were the books fun?
Our children are why we write. They are our inspiration. Our advisors and editors, our illustration-pickers and giggle-o-meters. They can say more with a snicker or a blank stare than the best book reviewer the New York Times has to offer.
The process of creating these stories for them and with them is incredible. It's an absolute blast and truly life-changing. Our hope is that some of you enjoy reading our books with your own kids as much as we enjoyed making them.
Cheers,
Kaine & Duds
