About the Work:
The Beans
"The Beans" is a captivating educational fiction series featuring a diverse cast of characters who travel through time using magical Beanstones. Each adventure is a self-contained story that fits into a larger, rich narrative arc.
Why it Works:
Educational Core: Every story explores different cultures and historical periods, teaching lessons in empathy and global interconnectedness.
Designed for Scale: Unlike a standalone debut, "The Beans" is built from the ground up as a multimedia IP, ready for video, interactive media, and merchandising.
High-Quality Assets: Three manuscripts and a full commercial overview are ready for review.
