Hello! I'd like to include this in a printed compendium of games, part of the Tiny Tome series. Please let me know if you're interested.

Sounds great, please send me an email to luis@luiswong.com if you need more info/assets.

Done :) 

Thank you for making such a lovely game (and such warm illustrations as well). My daughter has already arrived, but she's still little enough that this game is exactly right for me <3

I can even imagine a gender-neutral version of this (both for the kid and the parent) that would make an amazing gift to soon-to-be parent friends 

I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback!
