Happy International Dot Day.
What will your dot look like today?
To celebrate Dot Day, I have the opportunity to partner with a creative mind to share a new product on the market. This newcomer - The Adventures of Ai by Craig Bouchard - piques my interest because it's a digital game and eBook combo for preteens. Just look at this gorgeous illustration from the book cover.
Here's the intriguing trailer:
From the Press Release:
I can't help but think that Kaitlyn would have loved this had it been available when she was in intermediate school, so I was delighted when, earlier this summer, I was asked if I wanted to give it to not one, but two of my readers!

The Adventures of Ai takes
preteens on a fantastic journey
through culture and time.
Craig Bouchard, international entrepreneur and New York
Times Bestselling Author creates a unique transmedia entertainment event with
his new children’s fantasy The Adventures of Ai. Using nonfiction elements, this novel, set in
pre-renaissance Japan, unlocks the potential of a global generation of
preteens.
The unique story intertwines independence, strength and the
determination required of kids today with unquenchable imagination. Art,
history, poetry, music, and mathematics find their way into the dangerous
journey of an eleven-year-old-Japanese girl in search of treasure and her
father in the year 1514. Released
in six languages and distributed through one of the greatest 3D video games of
2014, The Adventures of Ai is a story of empowerment transcending global
boundaries.
I especially like this part:

of kids playing the video game benefit children’s charities around the world,
