For ages 5-9, Mika's Quest for the Lost Artifact i For ages 5-9, Mika's Quest for the Lost Artifact is a fun and educational illustrated chapter book, with an adorable protagonist Mika, and a cute sidekick, Polo. This book is a great concept, where the history and culture of a real city is revealed through solving cryptic clues. Children will be engaged and entertained, as they help Mika and Polo solve the clues, and at the same time learn about the city of San Francisco. 

I believe that education and literacy levels the playing field. I care about exposing children to different perspectives, various career fields, learning to be resourceful and advocate for themselves in order to break cycles and so that they are not just going with the flow, but are active participants of this world.

One of my favorite memories as a kid was having a One of my favorite memories as a kid was having a penpal and writing letters back and forth a this faraway friend. We would share about where we lived, what it's like, and tell each other what our favorite things were. With Mika's love for travel and exploring the world around her, it is important to me to offer postcards for our little explores to send to their friends and family! The postcard set includes 5 iconic scenes of San Francisco from the book. @mikasquest  is about solving cryptic clues and revealing interesting history and culture about the city to our readers!

Your overwhelming support reaffirms our belief that there is a huge void in children’s literature for books like ours. And because we want this book to reach as many readers as possible, we are going to keep this party going!

We’re excited to soon announce our first stretch goal! Stretch goals are essentially a way for us to keep the momentum going by "stretching” beyond our initial goal. More on that soon. Stay tuned!
This exciting story is set among San Francisco’s This exciting story is set among San Francisco’s iconic landmarks, but shows its young audience how any town can become a fertile playground, with history and culture waiting to be discovered. With a cheeky lead character that loves to learn, this book also encourages inclusivity and a love of history, showing how cool it is to understand the past. Above all, Mika’s quest is an exciting experience for girls and boys alike, with beautiful illustrations and many magical, memorable moments.

Yay! My book “Mika’s Quest for the Lost Artifa Yay! My book “Mika’s Quest for the Lost Artifact” was selected by Kickstarter as a Project We Love to highlight brilliance and creativity! 

I believe in bridging the gap of representation and diversity in Children’s literature while weaving in STEM concepts and growth mindset. This is bringing us closer to those aspirations. Thank you for your support, shares, likes, comments, and encouragement! This grassroots style is gaining the momentum we need to take off.

Inclusivity is one of the reasons why the concept of Mika's Quest started - one of the others, is of course, introducing children to the magical sense of adventure that the best books have between their covers. This book aims to ensure that no child picking up the book will ever feel that they need not apply, that the story is not aimed at them, as they are swept away into a different world, one filled with magic and fun and enchantment! 

There is a lack of representation and diversity in any early readers chapter books targeting ages 5-9 on the market and in our libraries. It is affirming and empowering for minorities and multiracial children to see themselves reflected in a book in a natural and organic way. Representation in children's literature tells a powerful message that it is okay to be different and you are wonderful just the way you are. 

By backing this project, you'll not only receive a beautiful book, but you'll be supporting a mission to add more diversity and inclusivity such as Asian, Latinx, and mixed race representation.

I’ll be launching my Kickstarter this month and I’ll be launching my Kickstarter this month and y’all what a journey it’s been to get @mikasquest to this stage. It’s one thing to have this idea and a whole other ballgame to actually execute! It’s been a journey and a mile. But seriously?!? So worth it.

It was important to me to have a website that appeals to both kids and parents, is minimal with clean lines, and while fitting the Mika brand. With zero website design experience this was a tall order when I attempted to design my own website on Squarespace. I decided it was worth finding a website designer and help me get the polish look I wanted. Head on over there and tell me what you think!
