Underground Books manager Georgia West, commonly known as “Mother Rose,” of Oak Park, admires a photo of a child with “Black Santa” during the second annual Christmas in Oak Park event Saturday, Dec. 14, 2019, at the bookstore and neighboring The Guild Theater. “For kids to see a Santa Claus that looks like them for a change … I mean any Santa is good, but I just think we need some options,” West said. “It’s a diverse community, and so we want diversity, we want everybody to come,” she added, “but I just think, for us, this is a great option and a great event.”

Please join us for an in-person discussion and book signing with author Kimberly Gordon Biddle as she reads from her children’s book “Darlene’s Double Dutch Dreams”
About this book:
Darlene and her sisters always enter the local double Dutch contest. Darlene and Loretta always twirl and Venesha always jumps. Big sister, Trina, always cheers for them. Mom and Dad always watch. The routine is always the same and the chant is the same, too. However, this year everything is different.
