This video was made with hope.

I used to buy pizza for strangers online when I was depressed. It was my way of putting something good into the world when I didn’t feel good myself.

That instinct eventually grew into Rebel Goose. And this year, with your support, we’ve been able to turn that hope into real things: art for kids, community projects, and books made with care.

I don’t want to force change. I just want to put hope out into the world and trust that it will move to where it’s needed.

Thank you for being part of our first year. Happy New Year!!!

I opened my inbox on Christmas to see this beautiful drawing by one of our talented illustrators. Ayala drew this rebel goose with the main character from one of our upcoming books. What an amazing surprise. Thank you, Ayala.

Just wanted to share it here and wish everyone a calm, cozy, whatever-you-need-it-to-be holiday season.

We’re so excited to finally share a project we've been quietly working on with Chris Paul Rainbows and It Gets Better.

To support It Gets Better’s end-of-year fundraising for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, we created a special read-along video featuring Rosie O’Donnell, Margaret Cho, Alexandra Billings, and many more voices coming together in celebration and solidarity.

The video brings together over 20 q***r icons, Emmy- and Juno-winning artists, beloved children’s entertainers, librarians, comedians, and It Gets Better Youth Voices ambassadors. Each person reads a single line from Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants by Chris Paul (Rainbows) Farias. It will premiere during It Gets Better’s live Queerathon stream on Twitch at 11:15 am PT on December 17, 2025.

Chris and Rebel Goose will also be donating 2 percent of all books sold before launch on June 2026 to It Gets Better, helping support programs that uplift and protect q***r youth.

THIS is the kind of project Rebel Goose was created for. Made with love, purpose, and heart. ❤️

I’ve been thinking a lot about the new Publishers Weekly Salary and Jobs Report. The early-career workforce is more diverse than ever, but leadership still looks almost the same. As a minority publisher, I feel that gap deeply. It affects who rises, which ideas get supported, and the stories we place in children’s hands. I wrote a short piece about why this matters.

An honest, personal response to PW’s 2025 Salary Report. This piece explores diversity gaps, DEI pushback, and why publishing needs leaders who reflect the communities and readers it serves, especially in children’s books.

“Katie, Big and Strong” is a true story of Katie Sandwina, an incredible woman who bent steel, carried a cannon, and used her voice for equality. I found this signed copy randomly at Toys “R” Us, and it feels right at home here at Rebel Goose HQ because I’m teaching my daughter that girls are strong and we lift heavy things!📚💪

We’re so proud to be publishing your book, Chris Paul Rainbows!!! Let’s change the world together!

Rebel Goose Books mission statement is “We don’t publish stories to fix children. We publish them to show kids they were never broken.” I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I’m so proud to have them as the publisher of my very first book, 'Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants.' Partnerships built on shared values are always the strongest. Show some love and give them a follow!!!

Building the bookshelf we wish we had growing up...full of courage, color, and big-hearted stories that leave kids feeling seen and unstoppable. ⚡💥

We're publishing this book because it makes the world a better place. And because we believe in the author. Chris Paul Rainbows brings so much joy and there’s deep intention behind it. They’ve lived it. They’ve done the work. And now they’re turning that into a story that helps kids feel powerful.

This isn’t just a funny book about guinea pigs. It’s an invitation to show up as yourself. Chris isn’t just telling a story. They’re starting a conversation. And we want our books to do that on and off the page.
