You can pick up your own copy of Joyful Song: A Naming Story (Levine Querido) wherever books are found. Consider supporting independent bookstores by shopping through https://bookshop.org/shop/ChildrensBkPod. I highly recommend checking out the audiobook of The Sherlock Society or, really, any of James' books! They are available through Libro.fm and you can support independent bookstores in the process!
