Children's book author/illustrators are rock stars.

Seriously. They are.




Yesterday, I attended the book launch of Foldabots Toy Book 3 (K-Zone/Summit Media). Foldabots is a series of cut-out cardboard robots by children's book author/illustrator Jomike Tejido. Apart from the three toy books, the Foldabots can be seen monthly in K-Zone Magazine.

The launch was a smashing success! There were lots of kids at the event and they were able to assemble Foldabots and be part of a game/contest.




Assembling Foldabots is serious business.


Here are more pictures from the launch. I loved all the kids!





Ze line to get Jomike to sign a copy of Foldabots Toy Book 3:


There are few things better than kids geeking out over your books/products, respecting and admiring you, and thinking you are cool. =D

Congratulations, Jomike!
