It's the children's story of a substitute 4th Grade teacher...from Mars.
And she’s traveled quite a distance only to discover, to her frustration, how much Earth kids don’t know about the universe.
Slated for release under the Too Nuts Productions, L.P. publishing banner, the project is scheduled for crowdfunding debut on Kickstarter May 13th, 2016.
She's a substitute 4th grade teacher from Mars. And she's appalled that her class at Enderfink Elementary in Topeka, Kansas knows very little about the universe. Determined to enlighten her young charges in the short time they have together, she paints a colorful cosmic cornucopia that will challenge the imaginations of her students, leaving them forever changed.
This 34 page illustrated story in development taps the beautiful art of illustrator Marcela Vargas
and the interactive augmented reality of WigglePlanet. The aliens will actually leave the page with the use of an iPhone or tablet and the interactive augmented reality of WigglePlanet.
