"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love..."

We think the world needs a little hope and joy and love. What better holiday to express that than Mother's Day?

Times are bad all over. You don't need me to tell you that. So our Mothers love kids' books day event is a chance to share some joy. Take your mom to a bookstore and buy her a signed book by a local author! Or, if you're an author or illustrator, sign your books and make a little money! Or if you're a bookseller, sell some books and make some more money! Here in Pittsburgh, we're creating what is called "a book buying holiday" and while it won't save the economy, it will spread some much needed love and joy.

We hope to see you on Mother's Day weekend. Buy your mom a book. It's the least you can do.
