@georgetakei Went to see @neilhimself at the Space Symphony back in Nov ‘23. It’s a really fun venue and I’d highly recommend everyone going. Should be a great time.

George... how can I have been following you for ages and this is the first I'm hearing that you've created a kids book? And a unique and touching sounding one at that?

Clearly I need to interwebs more.

For anyone interested, here's a (non affiliate) link to it on BookShop.org, an awesome site that's already generated >$30M for local bookshops, and the perfect counterbalance to Amazon:
