Hi, I'm Michael.
I'm an engineer who worked in the rocket industry, and I'm the person at every family dinner explaining how the lights turn on. I started Goody Prints because the best kids' books teach something real and make you feel something, and there aren't enough of them. So I'm making them in the open: ideas first, then a Draft Edition made with AI tools and checked by me page by page, then a real illustrator once readers show a book is worth it. Tell me what you think. I read every note.

Our promise
- Every Idea and Draft Edition is labeled, and its page says how it was made and who checked it.
- Nothing is posted without a person reading, editing and approving it.
- If a Draft Edition reaches its goal, everyone who bought it gets the illustrated edition free.
- Every note is read, and changes are listed on the book's page.
- Final books are illustrated by a human artist, credited on the cover.
- Hearts, notes, emails and purchases are never sold or shared.
