When Monsters and Haiku Collide to Benefit the March of Dimes
One of the most amazing things about being active in the social media universe is that I've had the opportunity to meet some incredibly diverse and talented people.
Allow me to introduce you to my friend Rachel:
That's Rachel on the left and then 3-year-old Alexis on the right. Alexis was hanging out in the bleachers during one of my softball games happily coloring when Rachel stopped to chat with her. And to steal her markers. You see, Rachel is one of the most talented artists I've ever met. It's her day job as well as her passion. If she sees markers, she's going to pick them up and make something absolutely magical with them.
For example, a monster. But we'll come back to that in second.
First, though, I'd also like to introduce you to my friend Will.
Will is another incredibly talented and amazing person who I'm fortunate to be able to call a friend. Will is passionate about a lot of things. What may surprise you, though, is that he is passionate about haiku.
What happens when two incredibly talented people combine their talents?
Magic. That's what.
Monster Haiku is the collaborative effort of Rachel and Will. It combines their passions into a super adorable book that is perfect for the monster lover of any age. Including me. Definitely me.
You guys, I love this book. It's entirely too adorable for words.
But it's not just adorable, it's for a good cause.
Rachel and Will are selling a limited number of Monster Haiku books, as well as posters and cards. All proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes.
Neither Rachel nor Will have kids, but they are donating the proceeds from all of their hard work to the March of Dimes. That makes them superheroes in my book.
Check out Monster Haiku. IT'S FOR THE KIDS!
