VeeFriends is excited to announce two in-person book launch events for our very first children's book, Meet Me In The Middle, by Gary Vaynerchuk. The Meet Me In The Middle events celebrate a significant milestone in the development of VeeFriends IP with the upcoming release this July. Through these events, we hope to connect with our VeeFriends families, introduce VeeFriends to new audiences, and build a presence in the children's entertainment space. Through this release, we hope to instill the core value of balance in the younger audience.

Meet Me in the Middle Event Details

Meet Me in the Middle is a unique two-in-one, flip-book that encourages young readers to see the world from different perspectives. Start the book from the front, and readers will learn about Eager Eagle's day. Flip it over, and readers will see the same story from Patient Pig's perspective. This engaging story illustrates how success can come from understanding different viewpoints. Written by five-time New York Times bestselling author, Gary Vaynerchuk and inspired by the million-copy bestselling book Twelve and a Half, Meet Me in the Middle provides parents and educators with a tool to discuss empathy, problem-solving, and compromise - essential keys to success at any age.
