By: Hazy Dell Press “We’re re-envisioning traditional alphabet board books where ‘A is for Apple’ and ‘B is for Banana,’” said Derek Sullivan, a Seattle-based illustrator. “Instead, our book features one of our lifelong passions: monsters from American culture and across the world, both well-known and obscure. For us, ‘A is for Alien,’ ‘B is for Banshee’ and ‘ C is for Chupacabra.’ To fund the high-quality printing and distribution costs, the twins have launched a Kickstarter campaign with contribution rewards running the gamut from a copy of the published book to seeing your name printed in the first edition—with t-shirts, tote bags, posters and vinyl stickers in between. Positioning the book as accessible to all ages, their Kickstarter campaign appeals to adults searching for a quirky addition to their coffee table, as well as parents looking for a less-than-traditional volume for their children’s library. “We want children to see ‘monsters’ The Monster ABC Kickstarter campaign runs throughout the month of June 2015 with a total funding goal of $8,000.
