Several of the creators involved in the book discussed it on their YouTube channels. Here’s seven-year-old Ryan’s take on it:

Beyond books, Pocket.watch has also launched several other off-YouTube initiatives for its creative partners. Back in February, the network announced its plans to make toys that feature the likenesses of Ryan and others. The first items from that initiative were introduced at this year’s Toy Fair and are expected to arrive in stores in the fall.

Pocket.watch’s digital presence includes its YouTube channel, where the stars of its network are often featured. That hub has received approximately 37 million views since launching 11 months ago.
