Colorado Springs, Colo., (September 1, 2023) — I’ll See You Tomorrow author and Viral Jesus podcast host Heather Thompson Day is partnering with her daughter, London Marie Day, for a new picture book, tentatively titled Can I Sit Here?, which explores themes of rejection, belonging, and friendship.
Through this book, the mother and daughter author team hope to come alongside children experiencing the pain and loneliness they can feel when entering a new context or being excluded or bullied. Simultaneously, the book will teach faith-based relational resilience: how a child’s identity as loved-by-God can help them choose bravery and kindness even when they feel hurt. Day will also create accompanying resources to equip parents and schools to combat bullying and exclusion and encourage all children to participate in a more inclusive and welcoming culture.
“‘Can I sit here?’ is a phrase that still resonates with me in adulthood,” shares Day. “One of the most piercing forms of loneliness is when we feel alone while surrounded by people. It is an incredible honor to bring this project to fruition with my daughter. My hope is that this book helps kids learn how to foster belonging for others before they ever have to deal with deep feelings of exclusion. May we together answer the call of Proverbs 22:6 to train our children in the way they should go, so when they are old, they will not depart from it.”
“Heather has helped so many people develop internal and relational resilience through her nonfiction books, and this book with London translates that message in a deeply personal way for children,” says NavPress senior editor Caitlyn Carlson. “We are grateful and excited to bring London’s story and Heather’s empowering voice and perspective to children who feel vulnerable and alone.”
Can I Sit Here? is slated to release in late 2025. NavPress has acquired world rights, in all languages. Heather Thompson Day is represented by Amanda Luedeke of MacGregor and Luedeke Literary.

About VOM Books
Our emotions drive so much of what we do, say, and think, even if we don’t realize it. Our response to our feelings—denying they exist, letting them lead our actions unchecked, distracting ourselves to avoid feeling them—can greatly impact our lives and those around us. Emotions are essential for everyday life, but how we navigate them in the storms of life will make or break us.
