Greetings! With the store closed to browsing we realized this is the easiest way to share these beautiful picture books with you - a dedicated email. Each of these lovely books have come out this spring and we have them in the store. Of course, we are still open to phone and online ordering with curbside and inside touch-free pick-up. We can alway mail your purchase to you if you prefer. We have added a Summer Reading Page to the website for students. We will be adding to the school lists as we get them and we have a Byrd's Books suggested list too (with pizza with an author at the end of the summer!) . Thank you for your support if independent bookselling,
