I’ve teamed up with Los Amigos Books, a Chicago independent bookstore that specializes in Spanish and bilingual books, to create a Book Fairy gift registry! Book Fairies can purchase books from the registry to support a small, family-owned business and local K-8 schools. They will also be combatting the negative effects of ICE on communities in Chicago.
