Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Tommy was feeling down and lonely one day; he didn’t know who to talk to or how to describe his feelings, so he decided to write them down instead. His letter was taken from his hands by the wind, landing in the hands of Sally. She was delighted to find Tommy’s letter and decided to write him back, igniting the start of a new penpal friendship!
“My New Penpal” teaches young readers that they are never alone and always have someone to talk to or even write to, whichever their preference may be. With engaging rhymes, this picture book targets young readers and encourages them to open up about how they are feeling. It gives the children another tool to open up and connect with someone else that may be able to identify with the emotions that they are experiencing.
As of May 9th, this project has raised $3,400 of their $6,500 goal. This project has 22 days left to raise the $6,500 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $15, you will get one penpal letter template. For a pledge of $20, you will get one signed book.
