Count Me In!Meet Medusa
Wednesday, 7/7 @ 12 noon EST
The story of the greatly misunderstood Goddess, including why she likes snakes. My Name is Medusa explores the "scary" dark side, the potency of nature and the importance of dreams.
Arna Baartz gorgeously illustrates this tale by Glenys Livingstone, teaching children (big and small) that our power often lies in what we have been taught to fear and revile.

Meet Inanna
Wednesday, 7/14 @ 12 noon EST
Tamara Albanna weaves the tale of Inanna's despair, strength and triumph—giving children of all ages hope that the dark times in life will pass. Arna Baartz illustrates this journey with gorgeous illustrations of the owls, lions, stars, sun and moon that direct Her. My Name is Inanna is dedicated to Tamara's beloved homeland, Iraq—The Cradle of Civilization; the Land of the Goddess.
Meet The Morrigan
Wednesday, 7/21 @ 12 noon EST
An introduction to the Irish Goddess of Life and Death, written by Jessica Johnson and illustrated by Arna Baartz.
The Morrigan remains one of the most misunderstood goddesses of the Celtic pantheon. Her mythology is a tangled web of various guises, deeds, and battles--and even her name is a bit of a mystery! Dive into the world of the Goddess of Death, and learn about what The Morrigan really has to teach us—and, maybe you'll find that She, and death, aren't so scary after all!

Praise for My Name is Medusa
“I am awe struck at the beautiful job you have done in liberating Medusa from the stereotype, and elevating Her to a rightful place among the deities. You have spoken in poetic and innocent language, a re-enchantment of 'the dark' that will lead us all, child and adult, into the soft warm darkness of the womb, the earth, and the cosmos."

Praise For My Name is Morrigan
¨In a society where we’ve been taught to fear death + things coming to an end, this book, through poetic prose + beautiful illustrations, will invite you to meet the goddess Morrigan. Let Morrigan be your guide as she shows you that as sure as spring follows winter, when something comes to an end, there is ALWAYS a new beginning, and that with death there is always rebirth."

Praise for My Name is Lilith
"At a time when the rising light of the sacred feminine appears to be suddenly slipping backwards into the shadows, this book is vitally relevant. Lilith, the forgotten first companion Adam, tells her own love story, and in doing so empowers us to step into the fullness of our divine selves."
