Because of all y’all’s generosity, we’ve sent out over 2700 books to over 30 schools and orgs and we’re still going! We’ve received donations from 40 states (SC needs to be colored in!) and Canada and the UK. We’re still collecting monetary donations and books purchased from Red Balloon!

Wonderful community event for young activists with @ananyadancetheatre.bsky.social at @redballoonbookshop.bsky.social to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and the uprisings this afternoon. 🙏🏾 We get through and process the grief and violence of this world with art and connection.

Sometimes you do serious things at the bookstore and sometimes you photoshop ridiculous pictures for April Fools.

Nothing screams children's bookstore like planning a sleepover for children's beloved stuffies. Yes, there will be photoshoots and bedtime stories.
