500 pound Tarpon journey

Hampton has had quite the journey with publishing his first book!  His first edition of 500 pound Tarpon printed 200 books.  After almost selling out of them and a supportive interest in his book from local shops, the publisher printed a coloring book version for stores to sell.  300 of the coloring books have been printed and 200 have already sold!  He is very excited to donate a dollar of every book to Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium and hopes to meet with the CEO, Dr. Crosby in the coming months to present the donation.  Enjoy some of the pictures of the journey with his book!  

His book signing- first customer ordered 28 books!  She was on Mote's Board :)

We love Mrs. Madden and are forever grateful for her support and fun during this process!
