A special glow-in-the-dark hardcover edition of What If We Were All Curious! is coming, and you can grab an early copy!


What if a children’s book could inspire curiosity during the day and continue sparking imagination after the lights go out?

Well, I have some exciting news to share!


After months of planning, designing, and exploring ways to make my newest children’s book even more memorable, I’m thrilled to reveal that What If We Were All Curious! is getting a premium glow-in-the-dark hardcover edition!


And yes, the cover really will glow!


This is something I’ve been eager to share because it’s more than just another edition of a book. It’s an opportunity to create a unique reading experience that encourages children to explore science, ask questions, and discover the extraordinary world around them.



A Children’s STEAM Book That Brings Curiosity to Life


If you’ve followed my What If We Were All™ children’s book series, you know that each story has a purpose.


From kindness and friendship to generosity and honesty, my goal has always been to create meaningful children’s literature that inspires conversations at home and in the classroom.


With What If We Were All Curious!, we’re exploring something a little different.


Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. Mathematics.


Or, as educators and parents know it, STEAM!

Through engaging rhymes and colorful illustrations by Vitor Lopes, children are encouraged to investigate the world around them, explore new possibilities, and discover that asking questions is something to celebrate.


From the mysteries of the ocean to the wonders of outer space, this book reminds young readers that curiosity can lead to extraordinary discoveries.


And now, we’re taking that curiosity one step further.


Turn Off the Lights and Watch the Magic Happen!


Imagine reading a picture book with your child, turning off the lights, and watching parts of the cover illuminate in the darkness.


That’s the experience we’re working to create!


Our upcoming premium hardcover edition features a specially designed glow-in-the-dark cover, bringing elements of the artwork to life in an entirely new way.


But that’s not all.

This premium edition will also include an exclusive sheet of curiosity-themed stickers!


The stickers are designed to celebrate exploration, discovery, and the joy of asking questions.


I wanted this edition to feel like more than a traditional children’s picture book. I wanted it to be something children would be excited to receive, proudly display on their bookshelves, and return to again and again.


Whether you’re shopping for a young scientist, a future astronaut, a creative thinker, or a child who simply loves asking “Why?”, this special edition is being created with them in mind.


Please note: The glow-in-the-dark images shown are simulated previews. The actual glow effect may vary.


Creating a premium hardcover children’s book requires a significant investment, especially when incorporating specialty printing features.


Unlike traditional print-on-demand books, this edition requires a dedicated offset printing run.


Our goal is to raise $8,000 to support the production and printing of this special hardcover edition.


That’s why preorders matter.


Every purchase represents more than a book sale. It’s a show of support for independent publishing, creative storytelling, and educational children’s literature.


As an independent author and publisher, I’ve always believed that books have the power to make a difference. However, bringing those books to life takes a tremendous amount of work, financial investment, and support from readers who believe in the stories we’re creating.



Why I Want This Book in Classrooms and Libraries Across The World


While I’m incredibly excited about the glow-in-the-dark feature, my vision for What If We Were All Curious! goes far beyond its cover.


I want this book in classrooms.


I want it in school libraries.


I want children across the world to discover that their questions, ideas, and imaginations matter.


Through Purple Diamond Press, Inc., we’re also working toward our larger goal of reaching 1,000 classrooms with meaningful children’s literature and educational resources.


And we’re inviting businesses, organizations, and community partners to become part of that mission.


Corporate sponsors can help us expand access to books by supporting classroom donations, school literacy initiatives, and opportunities for children to engage with stories that encourage learning.

Because sometimes all it takes is one book to inspire a lifelong interest in science, technology, engineering, art, or mathematics.


And who knows?


The child who reads this story today might become tomorrow’s inventor, scientist, engineer, or astronaut.


How You Can Support Our Glow-in-the-Dark Hardcover Campaign


You don’t have to be a large corporation to make a difference.


Families, teachers, librarians, businesses, and fellow book lovers can all play a role in helping us reach our preorder goal.


Here are a few ways you can support this exciting project:


* Preorder the premium hardcover edition. Be among the first to experience the glow-in-the-dark cover and exclusive stickers.

* Support independent children’s literature. Every purchase helps us continue creating stories that encourage children to learn, grow, and dream.


Let’s Make Curiosity Glow!


When I first began writing the What If We Were All™ series, I couldn’t have imagined all the opportunities these stories would create.


And now, as we prepare to introduce this special hardcover edition, I’m reminded of why I started writing children’s books in the first place.


I wanted children to feel inspired.


I wanted them to see possibilities.


And I wanted them to know that their voices, questions, and ideas matter.


Our goal is an important milestone, and I’d love for you to be part of helping us reach it.


Whether you preorder one copy, sponsor books for a classroom, or simply share our story, your support means more than you know.


Let’s inspire the next generation of curious minds, one glowing book at a time!
