I'm the Childrens Book Specialist and an all around bookseller. I've worked at City Lights since the Spring of 1999.I also "specialize" in gift buying--so if you need help finding that perfect gift for someone just ask! I coordinate many events related to childrens/young adult books, watch for them in the newsletter and local newspaper.

In South Carolina during the early 1960s, ten-year-old Jeru Lamb struggles to make sense of the mysteries and complexities of life, including his brother's death, his mother's devotion to Christian Science, his father's literary ambitions, and a new classmate who claims to be his half-sister. Now available in paperback.
