One Wants to be a Letter Book Has Sold 500 Copies!

When we released the One Wants to be a Letter Book a month ago, we had modest hopes for the book sales. However, we are happy to report that we have now sold over 500 copies of the book! This news is so amazing and Jake is blown away by the enthusiastic response.

About the Story

The book is a story about being different and more importantly, feeling different. One is a number whose friends are all letters and he felt different from them. One wanted to be just like his friends. In the end, One finds out that being a Number One was what he was meant to be.
