🚚 Our UPS driver had NO idea what he was walking into! 😂📦

Apparently, when you deliver 200 children’s books to our house, you become part of the celebration! 🎥🤣

And judging by the look on his face, he definitely wasn’t expecting a camera crew! 😂

But this wasn’t just another delivery…

📚 200 copies of Get Up and Go Gingerbread Joe have officially arrived! 🎉❤️

Why 200?

Because we’re gearing up for upcoming LIVE EVENTS, and we wanted plenty of books on hand for families to purchase!

Watching Lou unload box after box (and get his workout in 💪😂) made this moment even more memorable.

There’s just something special about seeing our little Gingerbread Joe getting ready for his next BIG adventure! ❤️

And we can’t wait to share him with more families!

🎄📚 Want to know where Gingerbread Joe will be popping up next? Comment JOE below, and we’ll keep you posted!

🍪👀 WHERE DID JOE GO?!

Well…we found him.

📍 NEW HAMPSHIRE! 🍂

Gingerbread Joe has officially made his way to New Hampshire…and judging by these two smiling faces, he’s already made some new friends. ❤️📚

Their grandma sent us this photo with the sweetest message:

“We are excited our book came!”

Okay, this officially made our day. 🥹

We LOVE seeing where Joe goes after he leaves us, so if Get Up and Go Gingerbread Joe® has made it to your house, snap a picture and show us where Joe went! 🍪💨

Where will we spot him next?! 👀

With Play – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Play Toys & Games 🎁 is an incredible toy store
my wife and I had the pleasure to visit in the Chicago area! We went to the OG in Logan Square while visiting our daughters, but they have 5 locations with an incredible selection of games, toys, and books for kids of all ages!

We got some great birthday shopping done for our grands!!

🍪 We have a little secret...

We've been introducing you to Gingerbread Joe...

But today...

We thought you deserved a tiny peek inside his very first adventure. 👀 📖✨

Every page was created with one goal...

❤️ To make children smile.
🏃 To inspire them to get up and move.
✨ To spark their imagination.

And most importantly, to just be a kid and have FUN!

And this is only the beginning of Gingerbread Joe's adventure.

The books are on their way to us now, and we are counting down the days until we can finally share the whole story with you this July!

👇 Tell us...

What's your favorite part of reading with a child?

📚 Is it the bedtime cuddles?
😂 The funny voices?
🌟 Watching their imagination come alive?

What are some of your favorite reading memories???

🍪 Follow Gingerbread Joe's adventure because we'll be sharing more sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes moments, and a few surprises before launch day!

📚 IT'S HAPPENING...

There are moments you dream about for a very long time...
..and then one day, they become real.

Today, we received these photos from the printer.

One Thousand copies of Get Up And Go Gingerbread Joe® are stacked on pallets, wrapped up, and getting ready to begin their journey to us.

Seeing this gave us goosebumps.

Not because they're boxes of books...

But because each one will soon be opened by a child, read at bedtime, shared by grandparents, and become part of a family's memories.

That's why we created Gingerbread Joe.

❤️ To encourage kids to get up, explore, imagine, and enjoy the adventure of reading.

This is just the beginning.

📦 The books are on their way, and they'll be available this July!

If you'd like to follow Gingerbread Joe's journey from the warehouse all the way into little hands, we'd love to have you along for the adventure.
