## Resource

Last week we introduced you to Sophie, the newest character in our world of children's books. Today, we're checking in - with a huge thank you - halfway through the Kickstarter campaign. As you may have seen, we hit the target in 15 minutes. Now, as the campaign continues, we're donating books to local schools, hosting Online Salons, and giving you two last chances to be in the book... if you're quick. The project will end on Friday February 6th. You can get your own copy here. Thanks to all who've contributed so far - merci mille fois. *********** The Earful Tower exists thanks to support from its members. For just $10 a month you can unlock almost endless extras including bonus podcast episodes, live video replays, special event invites, and our annually updated PDF guide to Paris. Membership takes only a minute to set up on Patreon, or Substack . Thank you for keeping this channel independent.
