EDMONDS—Whitney Popa and her son Oliver, both children’s picture-book authors, will both be signing their newly published works at Edmonds Bookshop on Sunday, September 6, 2026 from 1:00-3:00 pm.
Oliver Popa wrote his first children’s book, Drippey Plants a Garden, when he was seven years old. His second book, Am I a Planet?: A kids’ book about Pluto is due to be published on August 24, 2026. Both are illustrated by Elisabeth Sung. Am I a Planet is a humorous story about Pluto’s demotion from planet status, a “laugh-out-loud journey about identity, friendship, and belonging,” (book’s annotation.)
Whitney Popa is an author, editor, and founder of Our West Press. Her latest publication is a picture book about a mother and daughter, Mama Lifts, that “encourages body positivity, healthy habits, and active lifestyles for families. Ideal for children of health-conscious moms, fitness-loving families, or anyone raising strong daughters who see strength as something to celebrate. A joyful read-aloud that reminds kids: the best thing mama lifts is always YOU!” (publisher’s website.) Mama Lifts is illustrated by Silver Velvet.
Both books can be ordered from Edmonds Bookshop and will be available for purchase during this special family signing event.
