This is the book 📚 project that I’m working on currently, called Mara and the Bad Wolf by #KKampeasRittenhouse. I’m illustrating the book 📕 and I was allowed to share some of the #illustrations online 😊 It’s good to be working as an illustrator once more.

Fundraiser for "Mara and the Bad Wolf" Reached New Record!

Moi Drodzy, Chciałabym Was serdecznie zaprosić na Targowiska Sztuki 4-5 marca, w Koneserze, podczas których będę promować nową książkę dla dzieci autorstwa Ké Kampeas-Rittenhouse "Mara and the Bad Wolf", do której tworzę ilustracje. Udało się nam zebrać ponad 5300 dolarów kanadyjskich na zilustrowanie książki, co jest wielkim sukcesem! Potrzebujemy jednak jeszcze 3000 dolarów na resztę ilustracji, a całościowo chcemy zebrać 13 000 na ilustracje, design oraz publikację książki. Jeżeli ktoś jest zainteresowany książką to chętnie odpowiem na pytania podczas Targowisk Sztuki, będzie można obejrzeć moje najnowsze szkice oraz wybrane ilustracje. Przekazuję link do wspierania finansowego tego projektu na GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/lgbtqthemed-kids-book-mara-and-the-bad-wolf

A pod spodem kilka szkiców, oraz prac, które wykonałam do książki (części z nich nigdy nie udostępniałam). Pozdrawiam i zapraszam!!!

Here’s what my friend Dorothea Burn O'Craigie wrote about the book “Mara and the Bad Wolf”:

Thank you so much! ❤️🥰😁🙏

Dear Friends,

Please support and publicise this worthy fundraiser to help publish an LGBT-themed children's book.

My Australian-Polish artist friend, Kama Arts Kamila Wojciechowicz-Krauze is doing beautiful illustrations for this book, which is by a young Canadian writer Ké Kampeas-Rittenhouse.

The book is being published in English and has universal appeal. It will resonate with older children and teenagers in any country, including Australia.

Mara and the Bad Wolf is a novel for children aged 10-12 or over. The main character is a young vixen Mara (she is 11 in human years). While being looked after by a neighbour, Madame Lupassian, she meets the lady's grandson Seth, who is a trans wolf. She goes with him to a magic island where she discovers her true identity.

Mara and the Bad Wolf could be regarded as a modern version of Alice in Wonderland, while also containing elements similar to Zootopia, a film by Walt Disney. The book shows diversity, tolerance, sexual orientations and sexuality in a very sensitive and age-appropriate way.

It is a book full of magic and as such is a fairytale fit for children of our times. It aims to educate children that they should feel free within their body, that there is room for everybody and that the single most important thing is love. Citing the drag queen Ru Paul: Love is love”, and The Beatles: "All you need is love".

If you have any questions or ideas regarding the fundraiser and how you could help to promote it please contact me.

Dear All,

This project is very important to me, but we need your financial support.

Even a couple of dollars would be wonderful. This book was written by K Kampeas Rittenhouse, a Canadian writer.

It is a book about gender identity written in the form of a children’s story. I drew the illustration of Mara, the fox 🦊 She is the protagonist.

Please click the link if you’d like to know more about the book. https://gofund.me/c6bcd70b

Please feel free to share this post, if you’d like to see the book published!

Here is what K wrote regarding her book:

Hi friends! I've written a children's book called Mara and the Bad Wolf and I'm raising funds to get it published with beautiful illustrations by the very talented Kamila Wojciechowicz-Krauze.

This project is very near and dear to my heart - it's a fun and magical story about exploring gender identity.

All the info is in the Gofundme, including a link to a video where I talk about the project and do silly voices (I'll post it in the comments).

If this project speaks to you, please consider sharing with anyone you think would be interested in supporting it.

All forms of support are welcome, including liking and commenting on this post to boost it 😉

Moja książka 📕 dotarła pocztą 🤩🤩 To niesamowite uczucie móc fizycznie dotknąć książkę z własnymi ilustracjami oraz okładką. Czuję wielka satysfakcję z tego, iż ten projekt powstał w całości, zwłaszcza, że książka “O czym szumią wierzby” dla wydawnictwa w Pekinie nie doczekała się wersji papierowej. Jeżeli byście chcieli taką książkę 📖 nabyć to zapraszam na link do strony, gdzie można ją zamówić. Kosztuje 23 CAD plus wysyłka. 📦 Jeżeli byście chcieli to mogę Wam ją również podpisać, już po zamówieniu i odbiorze, ponieważ ja nie zajmuje się wysyłką ani wydrukiem 😂

W każdym razie, “‘Mara and the Bad Wolf” napisana przez @kekampeasrittenhouse jest jedyna w swoim rodzaju i stanowi piękny prezent dla dzieci, które uczą się angielskiego, lub dla moich dorosłych fanów, którzy chcą pełną kolekcję ilustracji w jednym wydaniu 😉

Dear All,

Since I finished illustrating the book by Ké Kampeas-Rittenhouse we still haven’t reached the ultimate goal of collecting 2000 CAD.

Just because I finished the illustrations doesn’t mean it’s alright to stop supporting this endeavour. Please donate now so that the book can be finished! Besides, it’s Pride Month! Pride is all about recognizing and supporting LGBTQ+ people, who are constantly being persecuted around the globe.

Also, please share this post on your profiles. The more people see it, the bigger chances of reaching the final goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the supporters we’ve had so far, without you we would have never gotten to this point.

Hello, everyone!

I’m writing ✍️ to you concerning the campaign of “Mara and the Bad Wolf”.

The good news is: we already have over 3500 CAD collected !

The other news is: we still need 9500 CAD for the campaign to succeed.

Here's a short excerpt from the book to give you a taste: [Mara and Seth have just arrived on the island, and Seth is looking for directions.]

Seth walked over to a turtle who was sitting at a small table a little ways away, drinking a martini and reading a large, leather-bound book.

“How do you get to the Valley?” he asked the turtle.

The turtle looked up with a bored expression. He wore thick-rimmed tortoise-shell glasses and a white bow tie with pink polka dots.

"You know the rules,” he drawled.

“What rules?” Mara asked.

The turtle slowly and disdainfully raised one eyebrow and said: “I see the kit has no understanding of this place.”

“I’m not a kit!” Mara exclaimed indignantly. “I’ll be eleven tomorrow.”

The turtle snorted.

“Pert as a prince, this one,” he said, before turning back to Seth. “To get something, one must give something. What are you prepared to give?”

“The bike,” the wolf said quickly.

“WHAT?!” Mara yelped.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get it back,” Seth said. He looked at the turtle. “If I bring you something from the Valley, the bike’s ours again, right?”

The turtle considered this for a long moment.

“I might be persuaded to exchange it for a certain rare, purple-spotted mushroom.”

Seth sighed.

“Fine.”

Mara crossed her front paws and glared as the turtle patted the handlebars of her bicycle. She couldn’t imagine what he wanted with it—he certainly wouldn’t fit on the seat!

“You do not find the Valley, it finds you,” the turtle intoned, as though reciting a very dull poem. He gestured to a small gap in the woods. “Follow that path until it becomes another. What goes down must rise up. There are no shortcuts, only breakthroughs. If you find yourself at the Cave of Many Doors, the only way through is within. And lastly,” he said wearily, “if you come to a fork in the road, try not to make the obvious choice.”

At that moment, a small, pink-and-turquoise bird flew over their heads and loudly squawked “Don’t make the obvious choice!”

What Will These Funds Pay For?

The majority of the funds will go towards illustrating the book, which will take roughly 6 months. The remainder will go towards covering the costs of self-publishing or hybrid publishing. If I am offered and accept a traditional publishing contract, the remaining portion will be reallocated to cover additional illustrations (including a $1,200 cover) and marketing costs.

Cost Breakdown:

$8,500 —> 25 full-colour illustrations (to be completed by April 2023)

$4,500 —> hybrid publishing or self-publishing costs and/or additional illustrations, cover & marketing costs
