The Mother of Monterey Canyon
Off the coast of California, deep in the darkest recesses of Monterey Canyon, there is a heroic story being played out, as old as time itself. A mother battles for her brood, predators lurk for food, and one octopus’s desire to see the next generation successfully enter this world shows us what sheer will and determination mean. This true tale is full of great facts and intrigue, to ignite the minds of deep sea explorers, young and old. K- 5, Children's nonfiction, 11”x 8.5” hardcover book.

Only backers that have donated $50 or more can nominate so please increase those pledges!

We are less than $500 to our goal! Woohoo! Here's some exciting news for our stretch goals (if you're new to this term, as I was about a week ago, stretch goals are extra incentives put out there after the funding goal is achieved to keep the fundraising ball rolling; these goals positively effect existing donors as well as new donors)
So in true K&E fashion, there will be some fun ones for the young supporters, or just the young at heart, and there will be some philanthropic goals towards literacy and ecology. Stay tuned. We will be announcing them tomorrow!
