pre-order my book until december 14th
And Hold It In Your Hands By Easter 2026
Keep on reading if you want to know how you can support my crowdfunding campaign and be one of the first ones to get a copy* of “You Are A Miracle”.
*or two or three or ten - whatever floats your boat!
exciting news.
I launched a crowdfunding campaign to get my story printed.
But Ivy, you’re a fictional character, you might say now. How can you launch a crowdfunding campaign, you might ask. What actually is a crowdfunding campaign, might be another question on your mind. Let me explain…
Nina, Kathi, Madita and Viola have been working on creating me and my inner world for the better part of the past five years. Some of you have been on the journey with them and know what it’s been like, how much passion, love, dedication and magic went into creating my world. And they are so close to sharing it with all of you. But now, on the last stretch, they need your help to actually turn their dreams - and my world - into reality. With your support of the crowdfunding campaign, you are essentially buying the book now but will receive it at a later point, once it’s printed in the Spring of 2026.
I’d rather talk about the magic of the inner world, but let me explain crowdfunding in more detail:
Crowdfunding allows creatives to bring their visions and projects to life and fund them before they fully exist. In the case of the book about my adventures in the inner world that means: my story is already written and Madita is in the final stages of illustrating it. The book will be fully finished and ready to be printed in February 2026. But for the book to make it to print, Nina, Kathi & Madita need the funds to pay for it. So they ask you to already “pre-buy” the book now, through the crowdfunding campaign that runs from November 14th to December 13th. So far, within the first 24 hours of the campaign, they reached their initial funding goal already, thanks to all of you lovely people who believe that my story needs to be brought out into the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
But it’s not over yet: you can still pre-order the book and other goodies until December 14th via Kickstarter, before the girls will close pre-orders until the end of the year, so they can focus on getting everything ready for shipping and finding bookstores that might also want to sell my story. The book will be ready and printed in March 2026, so you can hold it in your hands by Easter 2026.
So it’s not much different than buying a book online the normal way. The only difference is that you have to wait a little longer to hold it in your hands. But I promise, it will be so worth it!
Ok, now I’m tired from all this formal talk, will put on my glasses of gratitude and think of all the amazing people who already supported this dream becoming real.
Love, always,
Ivy
about the book.
You Are A Miracle makes the invisible visible.
Ivy goes on a journey into her inner world - and begins to understand a lot of things about herself in this magical world.
What defines her? And why are her feelings uncomfortable sometimes, but never automatically bad? What are values and how do they guide her through her life? And why is life just more beautiful, when you look at it through her gratitude goggles?
Over 8 chapters, divided across 64 pages, together with Ivy, you will learn about concepts like self-image, inner beliefs, values, dreams and love, easily explained through images and symbols.
A wonderfully illustrated book for older and younger kids and all those, who want to learn more about themselves and their inner workings.
what our test readers say about the book:
the people behind the book.
A bunch of creative dreamers.
Hi, we’re Viola, Madita, Kathi & Nina (from left to right) and five years ago, we set out to make the invisible visible. To showcase the magic our inner world has to offer, if we just dare to explore it. We deeply believe that this world would be a kinder and more loving place if everyone had the skills to understand and work with their own inner workings - thoughts, feelings, dreams, values, and more of those fun things. Knowing ourselves, how to deal with ourselves and communicate it to the outside world makes us more loving human beings, we’re convinced of that.
We are also big dreamers - especially one of us (Nina) - and decided that writing & illustrating a book in not just one, but two languages and doing it all ourselves, without a big publishing house, was a great idea. Fast forward to now: we are almost ready to publish our book (it’s only a matter of months) and couldn’t be more excited and sure of the path we’re on. The ideas are endless and there will for sure be more than that one book we are currently working on. So: stay tuned. We’re just as happy as Ivy that you are here!
