I’m so excited to be an author at the 7th Annual Social Justice Children’s Book Holiday Fair in Oakland this coming Saturday, December 9th. There will be so many amazing authors there. Great for picking up new and old favorites for yourself or for gifting — and authors will be there to sign your books. If you’re in the Bay, please join us.

I’m so thrilled to present a storytime as part of Out & About’s fundraiser. Please join us. Emily Arrow will also be there, and you don’t want to miss her!

If you’re in the area, you don’t want to miss the Kentucky Book Festival. So many authors will be there. I’ll be in the Children’s Tent with a great group of creators. And I’ll be doing a Just. Like. You. storytime at 10am. I grew up in Lexington, KY, going to the bookstore this festival is in, so it will be a special treat to come full circle and celebrate there.

I’m so excited to do a program with one of my favorite organizations, Our Family Coalition, along with fabulous fellow author Katryn Bury, whose most recent book is: Drew Leclair Gets a Clue. Katryn and I will be reading and leading activities and all-around celebrating books and being proud to be who we are at Fabulosa Books in the Castro. Book signing to follow program. We’d love to see you there!

Logistics: The event is free, and we ask that you please register in advance to ensure we can accommodate you, as attendance is limited for safety reasons.

I’m so thrilled to be doing a storytime as the opener to a concert by the Grammy-Award-winning group the ALPHABET ROCKERS! Their music and Just. Like. You. share messages of acceptance, joy, and social awareness. It’s going to be fun, y’all! The event will be held at the Harvey Milk Memorial Branch of San Francisco Public Library right in the middle of the Castro.

I am so thrilled to be headed to Oakland’s Children’s Fairyland for their Children’s Book Festival. There will be so many wonderful local creators, you won’t want to miss it!

I’m thrilled to be able to take this show on the road and see old friends and make new friends in Lexington, KY — my hometown — and Portland, OR! I’ll be at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, where I spent a lot of time as a young person. It’s an amazing, huge indie bookstore with something for everyone. And then, in May I’m off to Portland, OR for my son’s college graduation and a storytime at the famous Powell’s City of Books, the largest used and new bookstore in the world!

I am so excited to share that Just. Like. You. came out on December 6, 2022. On that day, I went to two bookstores with my dear friend Angela to see it on the shelves. Seeing the book in the bookstores definitely made it real. And, of course since it was a birthday — there had to be cake!
