The Struwwelpeter More Morbid Pop-Up Tales Single Volume Book
On March 26th, I launched “The Struwwelpeter and More Morbid Pop-Up Tales” Kickstarter Campaign — A single volume pop-up book complete with scroll, printable paper craft activities (including coloring book pages, cut and assemble activities and 3D sculptures), and animations based on the Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffman.
The campaign lasted 30 days and reached 116% of its goal, with 509 backers pledging $46,527.
The book is available online through my website Etsy, Poposition Press, and Topatco.
It is available for sale in-person through numerous book stores, including the Mass MoCA Gift Store, as well as recent book fairs, including:
- 2020 Art on Paper, “Vellum Projects, Vellum Magazine” Pier 36, New York, NY
- 2019 Dr. Mutter’s Merry Emporium, (Mutter Museum), (Philadelphia PA)
- 2019 Book Paper Scissors (Philadelphia Center for the Book) (Philadelphia, PA) (upcoming)

There are many many people to thank (their names appear on the Kickstarter page and will appear on the back jacket of the book!) However, I need to stop here and thank: Matthew Belanger, Di Hu, the Hall Family (Cecilia, Matthew, Caleb, Jed), and Anita Perr – without whom the book would not have happened. xo
