How You Can Help.
I have written the story, and the book has been illustrated and colored. We’re now in the final digital layout stages and are preparing to send the book to print.
I need your help to cover the production costs of the book (printing, shipping, shipping supplies).
My Why.
I'm a mom of 4 (of Hapa {Japanese + White} / AAPI descent), former professional race car driver, entrepreneur, and children's book author. I LOVE BOOKS and have always searched for children's books that my children can relate to and be inspired by.
I found it nearly impossible to find children's books about girls who race cars. Furthermore, it has been hard to find books where the main character is a strong AAPI female heroine as only 9% of Children's Books in USA feature AAPI characters.
Over 20 years ago, I began my pro car racing career and since then, countless women have graced the racetrack (before and) after me...yet children's books have not caught up to tell the tales of women in racing.
Last year, I took matters into my own hands and created the Sachiko Goes Racing children's book series, which is based on true stories & lessons I learned being a professional race car driver. I have so many valuable stories & lessons to share, as my time in motorsports truly shaped me into who I am today.
