Author Patricia Tomberlin-Hightower has signed a co-production/marketing agreement with SURRON to develop a series of educational products around the Play Pretty, Play Pals books already self-published. Because of the various projects that we're looking to produce (i.e. Storybook-Music CD, Documentary Film, Animation Series, etc.), the goal is to introduce the program in 3 phases:
Phase 1
Development of 4 new book titles (Teasing, Tattle Tale, Respect For Others, Bullying), which contain 27 new Play Pretty, Play Pals characters (by March 15th, 2011), and production on a music CD project containing 6 original songs (by April 21st, 2011).
Phase 2
Illustrator Shawna Malone, has signed a contract with us to develop the characters and illustrate all four new book titles + a storybook-music CD package. Our plan is to engage and secure funding from a sponsor or investor to support the entire PPPP production, distribution, and marketing program.
Phase 3
Once funding for the PPPP Educational program is partially or fully secured we will work to finish producing the storybook-music CD project, documentary film, website development, and 4 books. God willing...Our goal is to develop the entire program by the end of 2011/Spring 2012.
