Whether you are new to AAB or a long-time customer, we extend a warm welcome and would like to introduce you to some of our amazing team members, both familiar and new faces!

Sarah is our amazing Director of Sales and Marketing, is the fearless leader of our team and always there to lend a hand with her incredible Excel skills. With three energetic boys in the Pelkey household, Sarah is well-versed in our collection and can offer insights from both her own perspective and her sons'. A treasured favorite in their home is Who’s Playing in the Ocean, especially adored by 3-year-old Miles, who is fascinated with ocean creatures. Captivated by the interactive lift-the-flap feature, Miles finds joy in exploring the depths of the sea with this book, making it his top choice in the series.

Natalie, our dedicated Senior Sales Account Manager, balances her time outside of work entertaining and keeping up with her energetic duo, Brooke and Owen. She takes joy in testing out our latest titles with her little ones, and many of the books featured on our website have received an enthusiastic thumbs up from the Garvey family. Brooke's current nighttime favorite is the heartwarming tale of Mango, Abuela and Me, while Owen can't resist the timeless message in Todd Parr's classic, It's Okay to Make Mistakes.

Halle, one of our dedicated Sales Account Managers, finds solace in the beauty of nature, whether she's tending to her garden or exploring the great outdoors with her beloved dog by her side. She also treasures the moments spent reading to her adorable niece, Lainey. Halle's top book recommendation is I Love You So... by Marianne Richmond, a heartwarming story that eloquently captures the essence of unconditional love. She is captivated by the engaging rhymes, diverse characters, and enchanting illustrations that make this book a cherished favorite.

Shannon, a valued Sales Account Managers team member, is passionate about caring for her menagerie of animals outside of the office. Her love for animals shines through, and she never fails to entertain the office with fascinating bird facts. Growing up, Shannon had a penchant for children's encyclopedias, which is why her top staff pick is Junior’s Encyclopedia of Animals. Packed with fun facts and engaging animal illustrations, this book will delight any child who finds joy in learning about the wonders of life on our planet.

We are sad to announce that Shannon will be leaving AAB at the end of August. We will miss her dearly and wish her all the best in her new endeavors! If you have previously worked with Shannon, please direct your emails to our service email, and another team member will be more than happy to assist you.

Holli, our esteemed Accounting Specialist, has been an integral part of the All About Books team for an impressive 15+ years! She takes immense pride in her role as a mother and treasures the moments spent with her two wonderful children. While Holli's children have now grown, her heart still holds a special fondness for the book If I Could Keep You Little.

Amy plays a crucial role in our accounting team as our Accounting Associate. As a dedicated mother of two, she is often busy attending her children's sporting events during the school year. In the summer months, Amy and her family love camping and spending quality time outdoors. She also has a passion for playing horseshoes! Her current favorite is Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller. This book holds a special place in her heart because it beautifully illustrates the impact of a single act of kindness. It shows how a small gesture of kindness can snowball into something significant, spreading positivity and warmth throughout the world. Teaching her children the value of kindness has been a priority, and she is thrilled to see how their acts of kindness have flourished in various social settings, creating a ripple effect of compassion and empathy.

Paige, our Marketing Manager, collaborates with Brittany on website maintenance, catalog updates, and the creation of exciting new Chosen Spot books! While based in New York City with her husband, Paige makes it a priority to connect with the team in Canandaigua whenever possible. Over the past few years, she has cherished the opportunity to visit her friends' children and share the enchanting books she's come across in her role at AAB! One of her top picks at the moment is Help Wanted, Must Love Books. This book holds a special place in her heart as she enjoys sharing it with her friend's children and embraces the concept of seeking a reading companion. While the story centers on a Dad, it highlights the endless possibilities of finding the ideal reading buddy.

Brittany is our Marketing Specialist! You can find her running our AAB social media accounts, sending our marketing emails, creating content for our blog, as well as illustrating new Chosen Spot books. When she's not at AAB, Brittany can be found whipping up delicious meals with her partner, and tending to her furry family members!
