 "The book has a message of hope and compassion, telling kids that it’s okay to be different. Davidson teamed up with a local illustrator, Hector Curriel, for the images in the book. The book even is in a different font called ‘Dyslexie.’ It’s designed to make it easier for kids to read if they have dyslexia"-Dakota News Now.

The children's book will be released this Saturday, March 20, 2021, at a launch party in downtown Sioux Falls at Matt Jensen Marketing from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

A live read of the book will be held at 3:00 pm.

The book is also currently available for pre-order via the Colt The Courageous website or can be bought in person at the launch party.
