This Saturday (June 20, 2026), internationally acclaimed Brazilian American children's book author (and one of our favorite Dad's!), Victor D. O. Santos will be signing personalized copies of some of his books right here in our store. Just in time for Fathers day! Victor's books have already been translated into over 45 languages around the world and received many accolades, both in the USA and abroad.
Drop by this Saturday and sn**ch a copy of "My Dad, My Rock" (a Best Book of the Year in the USA by Kirkus). Or maybe, don't be weird, and come get a personalized signed copy of store favorite "People Are Weird" 🙂
Several other titles will be available for all the little readers in your life!
"Things I Learned from my Dog", illustrated by celebrated Canadian illustrator Dena Seiferling ("Night Lunch") will melt your heart. Alternatively, if you are a bit on the brainy side and want to see if you are able to solve the book's riddle, then "What Makes Us Human" is the book for you. Whatever you are interested in, Victor can't wait to chat with you! Tag a friend and let them know of this great event as well!
