I have visited the books of wonder sometime ago and it is a jewel. Many books small place but many books. It has the atmosphere of wonder and how children feel about things that they love and it’s there you have to go see it for yourself it’s there and you’re not going to be disappointed. I’m looking forward to revisiting books of wonder. There is a lovely book that they have there now and it’s written by two young talented men. The title is “Call me Jack“ they are the first ones that I knew who had this book and it’s a wonderful book about Jackie Robinson and it’s made for children.

I am not sure. My time there was precovid, but if it is not listed on their website, I know there number is and it would be worth a call before you go and I am sure that they would be very happy to let you know all that they are doing. I hope this helps, from Roger Browning, author of 'The Reckoning of Rance,' now out on Amazon.
