If you know me, you know Iโm always at Target. Like, a LOT. So much so that if I ever go missing, definitely check the dollar spot before calling the police.
And for any TRUE Target fan, getting a book on their shelves is the holy grail.

I wrote Sole Mates at โ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฟ-๐ท๐ฎ๐โ!
True story: after hip surgery, my doctor prescribed 1,000 steps per day. So I jotted down ideas on my phone as I wandered the aisles of my โhappy place.โ
Now Sole Mates is stocked in libraries, bookstores and museums. And I have been invited to speak at events across the country.

To quote a famous movie line, ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ. But I need your help with the perfect ending, AND to make kids fall in love with reading again.

There are 1,956 Target stores in the United States. If Sole Mates can get into just ONE of them, we win. And by โwe,โ I mean you, me, the company, and the kids!
Either Taylor Swift or the Bible (I can't remember which) said step boldly into the light. Well, everybody, LACE UP!

I post one ridiculously adorable, Target-themed image after another featuring Sole Mates characters. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด ๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ.
It's quick, it's easy and it's free!

Literally millions of our children are behind in reading scores and thatโs heartbreaking.
๐จTo help close the gap, a portion of all Sole Mates sales at Target will support Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) and child literacy.

You donโt have to already be famous with PR and โconnectionsโ to inspire the joy of reading. Sole Mates hits themes that are easy for kids to relate to, so they donโt lose interest in reading and fall behind.
This is Art with Heart (TM)! Moms, teachers, aliensโฆ everyone can help get Sole Mates into Target and reach more eyes.

Um, have you seen the packaging? Fire emojis.
I DEFY you to tell me the collectorsโ boxes arenโt cute.
