cool books i came across

i know that in my early childhood curriculum class we discussed having parents who were "different" from the norm of cookie cutter parents, which made me laugh as well as cringe because as we all know, andy and i are like these parents (tattoos, in bands, red hair, etc)and we were taught, as teachers, to be civilized and equal to all parents, bla bla bla.

i came across this cool shit today from my friend ilyssa's myspace page. i think phil is a friend of hers, and it is just something really cute that i thought you should check out:

Hey everyone... Happy Holidays. As most of you probably know by now... I've just published my first two books. They're the first two "tattoo children's books." MOMMY HAS A TATTOO... and TATTOO COLORING BOOK #1...

Well... we just had a KICK ASS first month. MOMMY HAS A TATTOO is one of the most buzzed about children's books on the internet!!! It's been written up in dozens of newspapers, magazines, and blogs... we couldn't have asked for a more positive response from our peers. A publisher in Germany will be putting out a German version for sale in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria early in 2007... and possible Italian, Polski, and Portugese versions are in the works...

At the same time...TATTOO COLORING BOOK #1 is, for the time being, now an online exclusive. Nobody can find it in stores!!! In fact... nobody can find either book in stores (they're for sale now, but not slated to be in stores until Mother's Day 2007)... BUT... for a limited time, you can get it DIRECTLY FROM THE PUBLISHER (me)... and check it out... ALL BOOKS SHIPPED FROM US FROM NOW THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS, WILL BE SIGNED/AUTOGRAPHED BY AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR PHIL PADWE (ummm... me again)... as our thanks for your support during this crucial time!

It's already a thoughtful and cute gift for any tattooed mother or expectant mommy, toddler, or child... and for a limited time... you can get them signed!

TATTOO COLORING BOOK #1 for that special tattooed someone!!! They make the perfect gift for ANYONE who loves tattoos... and right now, you save on shipping. All major credit cards are accepted (through paypal) and it'll be one less xmas gift you have to worry about later!!!
