"At face value, Wesley and the River Run is an adventurous tale of perseverance, camaraderie, and summer fun that is enjoyable at any age. Beyond that, this tale whispers to some of the challenges faced by youth and adults on a daily basis such as mental health, learning challenges, and socioeconomic inequalities... Wesley and the River Run is a beautifully crafted story for everyone, my kids also really enjoyed drawing their versions of the river run! I can’t recommend it enough!”

Marc Deangelo's connection with his readers runs deep, as evidenced by his recent appearances at 2nd and Charles locations in Woodbridge, VA. However, it was a surprise event on February 16th at the Chantilly, VA location that truly highlighted the magic of community and inspiration behind his work.

We are thrilled to announce that the book has received an official endorsement from none other than Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, RSW - a distinguished psychotherapist, author, and international speaker renowned for her expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care.
