Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
Mrs. Nelson's Book Company is proud to be an official bookseller of the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Skoolaroo's parent company, Mrs. Nelson’s Book Company, has been a long-time partner of the festival by providing the author and speaker books during the event. With the adjustment to a virtual festival, we asked our Skoolaroo team to help with the e-commerce book sales. All of the books will ship from our Pomona, California warehouse.

Meena Harris, author of "Ambitious Girl" in conversation with Mary McNamara
Anyone who's ever been underestimated or overshadowed will find inspiration in this empowering new picture book from bestselling author Meena Harris. When a young girl sees a strong woman on TV labeled as "too assertive" and "too ambitious," it sends her on a journey of discovery through past, present, and future about the challenges faced by women and girls and the ways in which they can reframe, redefine, and reclaim words meant to knock them down. This is a must-read for every little girl!
