True Story Bookshop

Let’s encourage kids’ hobbies by giving them true stories about people who share their interests. Do you know kids who love sports, space, or singing? Animals, art, or activism? Food or fashion? I have book recommendations for them here at my True Story Bookshop and interviews with some of the authors on my True Story Blog.

Karlin Gray is the author the upcoming graphic novel MIA AND FRIENDS (First Second, August 27, 2024) as well as the picture books  ANNE and HER TOWER OF GIRAFFES, SERENA: THE LITTLEST SISTER,  NADIA: THE GIRL WHO COULDN’T SIT STILL, and AN EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY MOTH. Some of Karlin’s favorite bookstores are Elm Street Books, Books of Wonder, Between the Covers, Warwicks, and Books Inc.
