Join us at Octavia’s Bookshelf for the debut reading and signing with Mother and Daughter author duo for the book Violet’s Big Goodbye! Violet is faced with her first big goodbye. As she works to make sense of her feelings and the meaning of leaving her home, she drives her family to slow down, connect with each other, and notice their feelings. This story reminds us about the importance of slowing down when saying goodbye and the importance of connecting with ourselves and others in the process.
