Her teaching experiences in culturally rich settings—including Japan, Saipan, Hawaii, Samoa, and the Navajo Nation in Arizona—have shaped her unique perspective and enriched her literary works. 📚 Notable Works by Nancy Bo Flood: ✨ I Will Dance A heartwarming picture book about a young girl with cerebral palsy who refuses to let obstacles stand in the way of her dream to dance.

This book is a must-read for families navigating tough emotional landscapes. ✨ Warriors in the Crossfire A gripping historical novel set on the island of Saipan during World War II. This tale masterfully explores themes of survival, cultural conflict, and resilience through the eyes of a young protagonist. Nancy Bo Flood’s dedication to fostering compassion, empathy, and understanding through her writing is truly inspiring. Her works are not just stories—they are bridges that connect readers to diverse cultures, perspectives, and life experiences.

What an incredible spot for book lovers. Alpenglow is so cozy and has a beautiful set up. There are an incredible amount of options from what's currently popular to timeless classics. Their kids section is incredibly diverse and well thought through. If you get a chance to attend an event they host, you must. I attended their midnight release party for Onyx Storm and it was phenomenal. The shop was decorated to celebrate and they even had a cute mocktail inspired by the book and cupcakes. What really struck me was how well everything was planned to make the event lively, interesting and engaging. Creating events like this is such an investment in the community and I'm really thankful for all the efforts put in to bring so many who love this series together. You should definitely check this place out. This is a bookshop that fosters a wholesome and uplifting atmosphere.
