Hello Ruby is a children's book on programming I've been working on. Now I need your help.

Ruby goes Kickstarter!

Hello Ruby is my children's book on the fundamentals of technology. Writing and illustrating this book has been a dream of mine for years. I'm launching a Kickstarter campaign to help make Ruby's magical world into a real, hardcover book.

To make this happen I have 30 days to raise 10 000 dollars through Kickstarter. I'm writing and illustrating everything myself, and these Kickstarter funds will help cover editing and production.

Every single person counts to make Ruby's world a reality. Here's how you can help:

• Back my project. Pledge now.
• Tell your friends. Parents by playgrounds, friends on Twitter. Who should know about Ruby? It takes a village.
• Send me feedback. I'd love hearing about all feedback you have on the book, workbook or Ruby's world in general.

Ruby is a small girl with a huge imagination. The way she sees the world is very special: her friends are the funny androids, lonely snowleopard and book-smart penguins. She is a little bit bossy, but knows how to make magic with words and sentences. And she's ready to teach you too. Please help make Ruby's world a reality by backing the project.

Or just hit reply and say, "Linda, I'm on board!"

Talk to you soon, Linda
