The Kickstarter, which launched on Wednesday, was hoping to raise just $15,000 for a print run of The Princess Who Saved Herself, a children’s book based on the Jonathan Coulton song by the same name. Currently funded with over $43,000, the next step is to create an activity book with coloring pages, word games and more if the book reaches the $50,000 benchmark.
The project started as part of the Code Monkey Save World graphic novel Kickstarter; the children’s book was itself a stretch goal added after that project was funded, and was finally delivered to backers earlier this week, just as the campaign to produce hard copies launched.
The book now fully realized and a print edition in the works, they’re aiming to deliver fans a printable PDF of a coloring and activity book featuring black and white images of the book for kids to color and Princess Who Saved Herself-themed activity pages, including mazes, word searches, along with drawing and storytelling projects.
“It’s gonna be a blast and a big, fun thing for the awesome, active kids we made the original book for,” says the page for the Kickstarter.
