About this Event

Please welcome Kirte Kode to celebrate The Hero in Zero!

This event is free and open to the public.

  • Start time: 10:30 A.M.

  • To get a book signed, a copy of the event book or an item of equal value must be purchased from BookPeople.

  • There will not be a live stream or recording available.

About the book:

Zero is told he is a nobody, yet deep down, he believes he is a superhero. Should he listen to the outside noise or his inner voice?

What truly makes someone a superhero? Is it their skin color, size, or abilities? Or is it what they choose to do when things get tough?

When the author's son, Armaan, drew a unique superhero that was a number, it inspired her to write a book about it. From his sketch and bullying experience came this story about friendship, believing in oneself, and standing up for what's right.

About the author:

Kirti Kode is an Indian American mom who is an engineer by degree, a Realtor by profession, and a New York Times best-selling author in her dreams. When her kids were little, she often read to them and realized the profound impact books have on children's lives, sparking a love for them within her. Inspired by her children and her desire to see representation for them, she began writing stories and rhymes. Now, with her husband's encouragement and her kids as her most valued critique team, she is working on making her dreams come true.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Kirti Kode and your local independent bookstore!
