Jacob’s World

by

sidebar-jnd-coverLots happening in the world of Jacob’s New Dress….

Today our interview with Our Family Coalition is up on their website. If you don’t know about their work, check them out–they do all sorts of fabulous education about LGBT parenting, families, and kids, and their work in schools is excellent.

There are currently two giveaways of Jacob’s New Dress on the blogs of two of my favorite mombloggers: Carrie Goldman of Portrait of an Adoption is doing a giveaway (and wrote a really thought-provoking review), and Lori Duron of Raising my Rainbow  is also doing a giveaway–comment on the blog for a chance to win your free, autographed copy. Thanks mamas!

We’ve got pics up on Facebook of Jacob’s New Dress in independent bookstores from California to Massachusetts. Please post photos of copies of Jacob when you see them–it’s so heartening to us to see them out in the world. Share photos of your family reading the book, and share your stories. We love to hear them!

T-shirt Giveaway: Quirkie Kids

by

Screen Shot girl at 1.47.28 PMOne of the things readers write to me about the most is how to find clothes—in particular, clothes that allow their kids to express their own unique selves. And sometimes, a line of clothing comes along that lets kids do just that.

Quirkie Kids is a new line of pink t-shirts for kids with playful designs not usually associated with the color pink—slime, say, or Godzilla. Owner Martine Zoer says, “Quirky Kids is about more than just pink t-shirts. It’s about encouraging kids to embrace their uniqueness and giving them more options to express themselves through their clothing.” 

Martine has generously offered to give two of my readers a Quirkie Kids t-shirt—comment below for a chance to win.

Screen Shot kids:kickstarter at 1.48.20 PMMartine is hoping to raise $2500 in a 30-day Kickstarter campaign to launch Quirkie Kids as a small business. There are less than two weeks left to the campaign, and Quirky Kids is halfway to meeting its fundraising goal (to celebrate the halfway point, Martine launched a new design: Rhino. Rhino is available exclusively to Kickstarter backers, printed on American Apparel Fine Jersey fuchsia t-shirts.).  If you support Martine’s mission, support her campaign here.Screen Shot RHINOat 1.49.12 PM

COMMENT BELOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A QUIRKY KIDS T-SHIRT! VOTES WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH SATURDAY. THE TWO RANDOMLY-SELECTED WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED  MONDAY.

 “Join us in showing the little ones in our lives that it is okay to think for themselves.”

-Martine Zoer
