@seatbooks.bsky.social is an amazing bookstore & the only one in Elk Grove. The folks there are lovely & really care about the community. I'm so proud to have my books there & done so many events w/ them. They took a chance on me as a new indie author & I'll forever be grateful. Unfortunately... 🧡

After I read this book, everywhere I went, I would talk about tuberculosis, and my family would go, "Everything IS tuberculosis."

Everyone who can should read this book!

What's everyone reading over the upcoming holiday? I just finished Everything Is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and learned so much in a very readable format that I'm assigning it to my 6th grader for social studies and science.

Reading aloud as adults, and hearing others read, can help us calm our nervous systems, hear stories differently, build connections, and feel uplifted.
As you listen to Abby read, you can sip hot or iced tea and use our supplies to color or bring your own crafts.
