Five Starred Reviews
From an award-winning author and illustrator comes this picture book biography about beloved librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker, the first Black coordinator of children's services at all branches of the New York Public Library.
Before Augusta Braxton Baker became a storyteller, she was an excellent story listener. Her grandmother brought stories like Br'er Rabbit and Arthur and Excalibur to life, teaching young Augusta that when there's a will, there's always a way. When she grew up, Mrs. Baker began telling her own fantastical stories to children at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library in Harlem. But she noticed that there were hardly any books at the library featuring Black people in respectful, uplifting ways. Thus began her journey of championing books, writers, librarians, and teachers centering Black stories, educating and inspiring future acclaimed authors like Audre Lorde and James Baldwin along the way.
As Mrs. Baker herself put it: "Children of all ages want to hear stories. Select well, prepare well and then go forth and just tell."

Great pjs
I ordered a medium and it’s much too large for me! I gave it as gift to a family member. I’m 4’11”. And 105 lbs.. I love the softness and warmth of the pjs. My daughter loves them and medium is prefect for her. The quality of the material is wonderful and designed prefect the weight of the fabric is just right!

Worth every penny!!
Oh my god it’s SO LUXURIOUS! And WARM! And heavy in a good way! I feel like a queen, I feel so happy when I look at it when I run my hand across it, when I wrap up in it. It just is stunning and cozy and perfect. The twin size almost feels extra large because I sleep comfortably under it on my queen size bed, and so far- no shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but as you can see it didn’t need it to undo any vacuum sealing- super fluffy right out of the box and no chemical smell I just put it right on my bed! I got it on sale for $43 I believe, and personally I think that’s a steal. This feels like those $200 blankets everyone talks about.

Super luxe throw!
Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is an absolutely incredible throw/blanket, especially for the price. Beautiful neutral color that will go with any decor. Very siIky to the touch with a coolness to it (hard to describe), thick and dense, and has a wonderful weight to it. It will be so cozy and warm in the cooler months. I own four Lola blankets at over $299 each (gulp) and these absolutely rival that brand in both quality and overall value. The faux fur/mink feels exactly the same for both brands. The only visible difference is that the back side of the WDCOZY brand is lined in a different material which also has a great quality feel and texture to it, very luxe. I've already ordered several more for Christmas gifts and for our AirBNB. I photographed the WDCOZY on the left comparing it to the Lola on the right. You can see how much fluffier the WDCOZY brand is. Highly recommend!

Very real like, hi-quality fur throw - love it!
Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Love this Throw - it is much prettier in person than the photo’s online. It is super soft and fur like - and is such a high quality throw. The fur looks and feels very real and the back side is a soft velvet like fabric - yummy!!! It’s very warm and cuddly!! I love the elegant look it has on the foot of our guest room bed - it’s the perfect size for a cozy nap! All in all I think it is a great value for the price and would encourage anyone looking at it to buy it!
