One book. Every state. Every kid.

I'm a self-published author on a mission to place a copy of my book in a Little Library in every state in America so every kid has a chance to find a story that feels like it was written for them.

The book is completely free to read online. Always. When you buy a copy, the royalty funds a physical placement in a new state.
