Streaming under the name ‘DuckBoxing’ on the platform, this daily streamer has successfully grown his account to share his “speedrunning, dancing, and IRL adventures” with a following of 2,400 people.
On July 16, during a stream, the “Chicago native”who now resides in Colorado surprised his viewers by announcing that he had purchased a debut children’s book from one of his viewers who is an author and illustrator.
He proceeded to recite it as a “bedtime”story at the end of his stream, which garnered positive feedback and garnered over 1,200 upvotes on a Reddit thread at the time of writing. The thread shared the heartwarming moment when one of his viewers was discovered to be the author of the story.
Laan Cham, a first-generation Singaporean-British-American, wrote and illustrated the charming children’s book Somewhere In Between. The story revolves around Pink, a young girl who navigates the challenges of resolving conflicts between friends and the complex emotions of being caught in the middle.
During the stream, DuckBoxing read the entire story while Laan simultaneously watched and contributed in chat. The streamer praised Laan’s work as “amazing”and was impressed by the amount of detail in each page of the “cute”art.
Upon reading the book, Chat wholeheartedly praised Laan’s character designs and “pretty”illustrations, and also described the story as “so good”. When DuckBoxing expressed interest in purchasing a poster, fellow viewers joined in and suggested that plushies of the characters would also be popular.
“Laan expressed her gratitude for Duckie’s beautiful reading and also extended her thanks to all those who had participated. She hoped that everyone had enjoyed the reading.”
After DuckBoxing’s livestream, numerous Redditors have admitted to purchasing the children’s book as well, with one individual stating, “Today, we have the opportunity to greatly increase the sales of a small author. I have placed an order for one of their books.”
“Upon hearing about the book, one person commented that it was a beautiful book and they planned on purchasing it for their child. Another person stated that they had checked on Amazon and the book was sold out, which they found to be a rare occurrence. This led others to believe in the impact of the internet.”
