You may remember a few months ago when I got published in Can I Sit With You? and did readings here and in California and NPR did a story and we all became millionaires with Kleenex boxes on our hands. Oh, wait, not the last part, since the book raises money for charity, but let’s keep the Kleenex box part of the scenario.

So, editrixes Shannon and Jennifer have done it again and have released Can I Sit With You, Too?, which is packed full of even more stories of childhood craziness. Here is the official blurb:

Can I Sit With You Too? is the second collection of stories from the Can I Sit With You? project (www.canisitwithyou.org). These new tales represent an even wider range of schoolyard experiences, including best friend disappointments, new kid fears, harsh discrimination, living with disabilities, and emerging sexuality. By sharing moments from kindergarten through high school, these stories once again remind us that we are not alone: chances are, if it happened to you, it happened to someone else, too.

I think this would be a great holiday gift for say, someone you grew up with and have known forever, and have been through some of this gnarly stuff with, as well as an older kid or teen. Also features an introduction by Some Asshole.
