This holiday season, in support of Small Business Saturday, I’m encouraging you to shop Indie Bookstores! Shopping independent bookstores is a great way to support booksellers, authors, and readers, and ensures that “the future will be more diverse, more authentic, less corporate, more local —The Future is Indie.”
My own book, Something, Someday, with illustrations by the amazing Christian Robinson (), can be found in your local independent bookstore, and I hope you and your loved ones will enjoy reading it! Happy holidays 💛
~ Marcus Aurelius
Thank you

We encourage Asians & Asian Americans who have experienced any act of hate in the U.S. — including racial profiling, harassment, and other attacks based on religion, ethnicity, etc — to report to us at stopaapihate.org so we can track how our communities are being impacted now.
Music is the universal language that transcends all barriers. It's an art form that touches our emotions, thoughts, and souls in ways words often cannot. Fred Rogers composed all of his songs on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood to uplift spirits, ignite inspiration, foster cognitive development, and nurture creativity.
Happy to see good neighbors, Lori
