About VirgoAri September
VirgoAri September is a small, Black woman-owned business built around the children's book "What Will You Be?!," described by its creator as the first toddler mystery book in which the mystery never fully resolves. The book invites young readers to imagine a range of possible futures for its central character based on interests and abilities rather than a single predetermined path, making it a picture book meant to be revisited rather than solved once. It is sold directly through the VirgoAri eStore as well as on Amazon, giving families more than one way to find and purchase it. Alongside the book, the business runs a baked goods line called Pastryarts, extending the brand from the page into home-baked treats sold through the same small operation. The combination of a picture book and a baked goods offering reflects a deliberately personal, family-run enterprise rather than a single-product storefront, with the founder handling both the creative and the culinary sides of the business herself. Customers can reach the business directly by phone or email to ask about the book, Pastryarts orders, or upcoming releases.
VirgoAri September was founded by Jasmine Quick-Miller as a legacy project for her child, whom she refers to as "Little One," who is autistic, has ADHD, and is non-verbal. The children's book "What Will You Be?!" grew directly out of watching her child's interests and imagining the many different futures those interests could point toward, since traditional narratives about a child's future often assume a single fixed answer. Quick-Miller built the book around the idea that "every child, regardless of diagnosis, deserves to be seen for who they are and who they might become," turning a personal parenting experience into a published work meant for other families navigating similar questions about neurodivergent children. She describes the business itself as "one mother's legacy to her child and a path to generational wealth," framing VirgoAri September as both a creative outlet and a long-term family asset rather than a one-off project. The addition of the Pastryarts baked goods line came later, expanding the business beyond publishing while keeping it centered on the same small, mother-led operation that started with the book.
