Thereās something surreal and completely magical about holding your dream in your hands.
After months (okay, years) of imagining, drawing, writing, and rewriting, I finally got to hold the proof copy of my very first book from the Magbean!⢠series. Yep, itās real. It exists. Itās a colourful, bean-shaped reality! š
Iāll be honest: seeing my story come to life like this felt like watching my imagination step out of their boundaries. All the characters Iāve carried around in my head and sketched a thousand times are now printed, bound, and vibrant. The colours pop, the pages feel just right, and even though thereās a strip on the cover that says āNot for resale,ā it still feels real.
Of course, this is just the proof version, and there are still a few tweaks to make before publishing, but weāre getting close and thatās worth celebrating.
This whole journey started because I wanted to create something different. Something kind. Something that shows people that itās okay to be themselves: quirks, feelings, differences, and all. To show that being different isnāt just okay, itās powerful.
So hereās to that moment: holding a book that dares to be different and invites others to do the same. š
Iāve included a couple of sneak peek photos: the one above is me holding the proof, and the one below is a close-up of the book so you can see just how far itās come.

Thanks for cheering me on. I canāt wait to share more soon, the realĀ launch is just around the corner! Make sure you're subscribed to keep in touch and be the first to know. Keep being kind. Keep being you.
And always, alwaysā¦
Own Your Bean.
