Yay amazing. This is so exciting. And I love that this was the half arsed idea you threw in there. So affirming to keep all the most sideways random ideas in the mix always. And then followed by so much work. Good job.
THIS BOOK IS SO GOOOOD! I work teaching art to kids and we did a craft based on this book and the kids (and adults) absolutely loved it !! So real and fun
i was looking up your book and found your substack. i absolutely love pig town party! i work at powell's books in portland, or and i'm going to be reading your book at storytime. we have it on two staff picks displays bc we all love it!
I'm just a random employee but if you wanted you could totally reach out to powell's and schedule an author talk/storytime reading of your book :)
ps. when i read it to kids last week they all laughed and thought it was really funny. a 3 year old said he wanted to go to pig town because he loves to roll around in the mud lol.
What a great day! Congratulations on creating something that took so much self-determination, grit, and hard, hard work. That quality of just sticking to something is one of the things I admire about artists and you. I can't wait to get my copy and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Savor this! You did it, Lian! <3
YOU DID IT BABES!!!! It’s so deeply beautiful and hilarious and unhinged— all the best things 💕💕💕 and you gotta make that inked page of oink bakery a colouring page for events!!
I love book origin stories, thank you for sharing. This def got me curious and hooked to read the book, can't wait to get my hands on a copy! Happy book release day!!
