Already heard it’s sold out - doesn’t surprise me at all! If you are looking for another option or want even more my book has a paired handcrafted linen doll with sensor and pump.

Day 1 to bring Hoot to life and we are 15% funded. It's too early to say if creating Hoot will be able to happen but it brings me hope as each backer joins us and supports this project. Thank you to Erin Smith, Richard Rieman, Brinna Grace Durney, Samantha Kouneski, Nadia Siapin, Haley, Helen Rogosin, MaryKins, and Kelsey for your generous support!

In one day - 16 Hoot Owls were pledged to give to children experiencing surgery - this is amazing!

Meet HOOT! A plush owl with a removable HIP cast and Rhino Brace. I have created the samples of Hoot and really hope to bring HoOT to life and into the arms of many children who need to have surgery.
With the current unpredictable situation in the US and tariffs - I am really uncertain if this project makes sense right now.
However, 3 million children have surgery in the US every year, and having a plush toy that represents their life experience would be a vital tool and comfort during an uncomfortable and difficult time.
I don't want politics nor policies to prevent HOoT from coming to life and I'm hoping that you don't either - so please consider supporting this project and thank you, so much for giving a HOoT about children who need surgery!

Thank you,
Katie

Getting excited for the printed copies of My Body Beeps! And OUCH! To arrive in about a month and for the Rose owl plushies to arrive. Some are coming very soon via air and the rest by boat. Unsure how the tariff situation could impact but hopefully all will be well and at the very least I will have lots of plushies to cuddle with.
