Finding “Singing the Red Bird's Song" At Your Local Bookstore
The Pacific Northwest has no shortage of charming spots, but we hold a special place for our local independent bookstores in the area. Our beloved independent bookstores are known for carefully curated shelves, knowledgeable staff, and the kind of warm, unhurried atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours.

Reach Out Locally
Purchasing from a local bookstore does more than put a book in your hands. Independent bookstores are community anchors, they host author events, support local readers, and keep a diverse range of titles on the shelves that larger retailers might overlook.
When you buy locally, a greater portion of your money stays within your community. According to the American Booksellers Association, independent bookstores generate significantly more local economic activity per dollar spent compared to chain retailers. Choosing a local shop is a meaningful way to support the kind of literary culture that makes discovering books like this one possible.
What If It's Not in Stock?
Don't panic. Out of stock doesn't mean out of reach. Independent bookstores can place a special order for you. Independent bookstores typically receive orders within a few business days, and ordering through the store directly supports a local business rather than a large retailer.
Ask at the counter for details on turnaround time and whether they require a deposit for special orders.
You can also ask to be added to a waitlist or notification list if the book is expected back in stock soon.
Whether you find a new perspective, a bit of comfort, or just a great story, I hope that everyone takes something valuable away from reading Singing The Red Bird's Song.
All the best,
S.S. Wright
