Sir Duke of Astoria
It all begins with an idea.
My hopes & goals for A Beagle with a Bagel in a Borough.
That children will love it!
That people that love NYC will love it!
That it will be the book that children select to be read to them “again and again” and bring it with them in their strollers and travels.
That children will be captivated by the illustrations while they learn about all the details that make NYC so special.
That the aunts, uncles and best friends who live in NYC will have this be their proud go-to gift (cool gift) for all the new arrivals for their friends and family.
The adults reading the book with the children won’t wince when it gets read numerous times and they will find the story and illustrations sweet.
It will encourage visitors to NYC.
Sir Duke will get a bronze statue at the Astoria Park playground.
Financial success to help encourage others to pursue their dreams.
The book will serve as a catalyst for others to create and share ideas.
Molly Coyne will get showcased at the Museum of Illustrations.
We can make enough in sales to get a Sir Duke costume made.
We can partner with stuffed animal companies for plush toys (Sir Duke, the Purple Pigeon and the Rat).
