Mychal Threets is a librarian and literacy advocate named one of Time's 100 most influential creators. Online, he shares videos of affirmations to assure people that their mental health always matters, and he encourages everyone to know they belong at the library. A former PBS kid himself, Mychal is proud to serve as PBS's resident librarian. This is his first book. His cats, Machine Gun Kitty and Kissin' Kat Barlow, did not help at all, but he still appreciates them.
