About this Event

On Saturday, March 7, join us for a joyful, low-pressure Family Book Launch Day celebrating the release of I Will Always Choose You—a children’s book about love, reassurance, and the families who show up for us.

This event is designed as a gentle, welcoming family day, especially for families navigating non-traditional structures, absent parents, blended households, and chosen family. A day without stigma, labels, or explanations required.

This is a FREE event. Registration helps us plan materials, food, and activities.
