It’s Official: Jacob’s New Dress Has Been Released!

by

So in all the excitement about Jacob’s New Dress coming into bookstores weeks in advance of its official March 1 release date, WE FORGOT THE MARCH 1 RELEASE DATE. So, um, YAY a few days late on the official release of Jacob’s New Dress!! We wanted to share some exciting news and ask for your help with promoting the book so we can share Jacob’s message of acceptance with the world.

Exciting news: This week we had a sweet review in Bay Windows, New England’s largest LGBT publication, and Kirkus wrote delightfully about Jacob and another book, Morris Michelwhite and the Tangerine Dress, which will be out in May. 

How you can help: Would you please help us spread the word about Jacob? Here are some things you can do…

 • If you’ve read and liked the book, please review it on Amazon.

• If you haven’t read Jacob’s New Dress, you can buy it here or at your local independent bookstore (local buy-it-now links coming soon to our about-to-be-unveiled new website)! 

• Stop in your local bookstores and ask them to stock it!

• Ask your local library to buy a copy!

• If you’re on Goodreads, please mark Jacob “want to read” or review it if you’ve read it.

 • Check out and comment on our reviews in Kirkus and Bay Windows!

• Tweet it! Facebook it! All-sorts-of-other-social-media it!

Thanks for all your support as we launch Jacob into the world. It is–and you are–truly invaluable to us.

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
