Incubator Productions, Minnock Marketing, and artist Chas Chasler are thrilled to announce their partnership on a new children’s book project, Milo the Mime. The collaboration will bring together the talents of all three parties to create an impactful and meaningful story for readers in Southwestern Pennsylvania and beyond.
In today’s world filled with constant noise and distractions, Milo the Mime emphasizes the importance and impact of using silence and action for self-expression. Through this children’s book, Chasler hopes to inspire young readers to embrace their unique ways of communication and to see beyond words.
“We are excited to partner with Minnock Marketing and Chas Chasler on this project,” said Isaac Fisher, the editor and publisher at Incubator Productions. “We believe that ‘Milo the Mime’ is a story that will not only entertain children, but also educate them about the power of nonverbal communication.”
The book follows Milo, a mime who is unable to use words to express himself. As he goes through his adventures, children will learn how Milo stands up for his quirks and uses them to contribute uniquely to his community. His story provides a fun and earnest role model for those of us who live with communication challenges.
Through Milo’s journey, readers will learn lessons about empathy, understanding, and embracing our differences.
Chasler, known for his expressive illustrations, brings the story to life with his captivating and colorful artwork. His ability to convey emotion through art is a perfect match for the story’s theme.
“Minnock Marketing continues to focus on building impactful partnerships to bring more value to brands,” said Michael Minnock. “Chas’ creative style will help bring ‘Milo the Mime’ brand to life and capture the attention of young readers.”
The book will launch with a 500 print limited series, slated for summer 2025. The team is currently in development of a Kickstarter Campaign and Launch Party for funding the print run. A portion of the proceeds from sales will go towards organizations that support children with communication disabilities. The team is currently seeking additional partnerships to help with the launch and distribution of Milo the Mime.
“We hope that ‘Milo the Mime’ will not only entertain children but also open up conversations about nonverbal communication and embracing our differences,” said Chasler. “It’s important for children to see that there are many ways to express ourselves, and being different is something to be celebrated.”
