    On Saturday, June 11 at 1PM, The Stonewall National Museum & Archives welcomes April Claxton to its Distinguished Author Series to talk about her recently published book, Goodnight Just The Same.

    April Claxton is the author of 3 books, The Movement Within: 8 Steps To Ignite The Movement Within You, The Power of Self Love: A Mini Book and the highly praised children's book Goodnight Just The Same, as well as many inspirational messages available on The Movement Within Facebook page. Through writing, one of her biggest passions, April encourages, inspires and motivates adults and children to discover their value and necessity of Self. She enjoys speaking to adults but her heart truly opens with her younger audiences. As a victim of childhood emotional and physical abuse, Claxton strongly believes in and promotes the power and necessity of positivity within a child's life.

    Goodnight Just The Same is a book whose time had come to be written. There are families across the globe that no longer fit the "normal" stereotype of what a family is. This book teaches us that every family structure is "normal." We have step-mommies and step-daddies. We have no mommies and no daddies. We also have two mommies and two daddies. Some of us only have one mommy, daddy or grandparent to raise us. No matter what the structure of your family is, it is important to note that a family is a family as long as it comes from love. It is about the feelings we feel when we go to sleep so that we have better feelings when we awake. To the moon every family is tucked in "just the same." Critics have stated, "It will help any child of any age go to bed and wake up feeling like they're loved."
