This is a chance to meet local indie children’s book authors, get books signed, and do all of your holiday shopping in one place!

I’m excited to present a storytime, culminating in a dance party (with rainbows), at the Menlo Park Library. Join me for stories, songs, and fun!

Castro Valley Library, Saturday, June 1, 1-2:30 pm

I am so honored that Castro Valley Library is making a Just. Like. You. Story Walk* for Pride Month. To kick things off, we’ll walk the Story Walk, have a Storytime, and then put on our dancing shoes for the PRIDE DANCE PARTY! You don’t want to miss the fun.

*To create a Story Walk, pages from a picture book are put on signs and placed along a path or trail. Children and their families can then walk along the path and read the story, step-by-step and page-by-page!

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.
