VIRTUAL EVENT: Anastasia Higginbotham, What You Don’t Know

Join us for a special virtual event with author and illustrator Anastasia Higginbotham whose new picture book, What You Don’t Know: A Story of Liberated Childhood, delves into queerness, Blackness, and the love that dismantles whiteness. This event will include a reading, Q&A, and demonstration of Higginbotham’s disco collage workshop. A “backdrop” for collages will be included with every copy of What You Don’t Know purchased from Bookshop Santa Cruz, while supplies last. (Preorder your copy below.)

What You Don’t Know is a book about knowing deeply that you matter—always did, always will. It’s a book about what schools get wrong and churches don’t say; but institutions are made by people and the people are evolving. It’s a book about being known and cherished by family, and living in communion with your own personal Jesus, Buddha, Spirit, Source, Father, Mother, God, breath, inner space, outer space, nothingness, and however else we name and relate to our divinity and humility in the presence of all we don’t know.

“A visually rich story that speaks truth to power for LGBTQ+ kids and their families and allies.” —Kirkus Reviews

This is a free event. The book may be preordered below.
