Thank you to Barnes & Noble in Kirkland for hosting me for a special storytime + signing event on National Tell a Story Day. And a heartfelt thanks to those who dropped by to join. I loved chatting + signing and personalizing books, meeting super cute kids, and even doing impromptu storytime readings at the table after! 🥰
