Hilda & Richie, the debut picture book of Max West, comes to Kickstarter on Wednesday, January 6, 2021!
Remember when children’s books were a madcap romp? This text once more evokes the joyous, amusing books of yesteryear in the tradition of the Berenstain Bears, Little Critter and Richard Scarry’s Busytown!
This picturesque book for children features two red foxes: Hilda Breckendorf, an aristocratic lady wearing elegant dresses and possessing incredible wealth; and Richard “Richie” Sutter, a cuddly fox pup living with Hilda in her voluminous mansion. When Richie encounters Hilda blowing bubble gum bubbles, the intrepid fox pup joins in on the bubble fun. Soon, the remarkable duo decide to have a bubble blowing contest…with messy results! Just how will these two furry vulpines get themselves unstuck from this mess as well as their fur unstuck? Rendered in colorful art markers with vivid, illuminating colors and enhanced with hefty pen lines strengthening the shapes, Hilda and Richie will capture the attention of young readers everywhere.
The creator & illustrator of Hilda & Richie, Max West, is an exalted creator of comics, already having produced Sunnyville Stories and the Wild West web comic Poison Ivy Gulch. Mr. West’s work has received superior reviews from Amazon and the Midwest Book Review, having received praise such as his work “destined become to a mainstream hit” and even being compared to the comic strip Pogo by Walt Kelly!
Hilda & Richie will run on Kickstarter from Wednesday morning January 6, 2021 through late Friday night February 5, 2021 with its funding goal set at US$3,000.
