Kids & Companions

for 8-to-11-year-olds and an adult companion

Families reading together is one of our favorite things to encourage! In this group, kids and an adult reading partner of their choice read the same book each month and get together to discuss (yes, the adults too) in conversation that is always lively and enlightening. Email us at info@littleshopofstories.com and we'll forward your information to Terra to be added to the email list!

Our next meeting is Friday, March 22nd at 6:30pm. We will meet to discuss Millionaires for the Month by Stacy McAnulty.

In April, we will meet Friday, April 19th at 6:30pm to discuss Ginger Mancino, Kid Comedian by Wendi Aarons.

In May, we will meet Friday, May 17th at 6:30pm to discuss The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill.

In June, we will meet Friday, June 21st at 6:30pm to discuss Young Alfred: Pain in the Butler by Michael Northrup.
