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.

We’re prepped and ready for passport stamping and surprised exclamations of new visitors saying “I didn’t know you had Adult books!”

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.
