Orion and the Atlas

1. Are these books suitable for schools, libraries, or therapy settings?

Yes! Orion’s Lesson in the Stars is designed with emotional learning and social-emotional development in mind, making it a great fit for classrooms, family therapy, and bedtime reading. An Educator & Parent Guide will be included for all backers who request it.
The Atlas of Reclaimed Voices is an adult novel and may be suitable for college libraries, book clubs, or mental health organizations.

2. What age group is Orion’s Lesson in the Stars for?

This book is best for ages 5–9, though it can be appreciated by children as young as 4 and as old as 11, especially with guided discussion. It’s also a great tool for parents and teachers who want to gently introduce topics like consent, emotional safety, and listening.

3. Is The Atlas of Reclaimed Voices based on a true story?

While fictional, the novel is deeply inspired by real-world experiences of trauma, silence, and the courage it takes to reclaim your story. It is written with authenticity, emotional depth, and a focus on healing.

4. When will I receive my rewards?

We aim to deliver:

• Digital rewards by August 2025

• Printed books by September 2025

• Audiobook and classroom materials by October 2025

You’ll receive regular updates throughout the process with timelines and production progress.

5. Can I donate books to a school or library?

Yes! Backers at the $500+ tiers will have the option to donate books to an institution of their choice (or we’ll help choose a location in need). You can also message us if you'd like to sponsor additional copies for schools.

6. Will the books be available in other languages?

If we reach our stretch goals, we plan to translate both books into French and Spanish, with potential for more based on demand and funding.

7. Is shipping included? Do you ship internationally?

Shipping is included within the U.S. and Canada. For other countries, Kickstarter will calculate additional shipping costs at checkout. We're working to make international shipping as affordable as possible.

8. Can I order extra copies as add-ons?

Yes! After the campaign ends, we’ll send a backer survey where you can select add-ons like extra copies, gift bundles, classroom kits, and signed bookplates.

9. I want to support but can’t pledge much—how else can I help?

That means the world to us! You can help by:

• Sharing this campaign with friends, educators, parents, and book lovers

• Posting about it on social media

• Tagging teachers, libraries, or advocacy groups who may want to support

Every share makes a difference.
