Spotlight on...

Books galore at the Decatur Book Festival!


The Little Shop of Stories is an enchanting book nook, located right in the middle of the action and adventure. This is a fantastic place to set your imagination free!


We were excited to bring the mystery of the Begonia House to the Children's Stage at the festival. The panel Moderator, Elizabeth Lenhard, asked excellent questions, and we enjoyed sharing the stage with Anica Rissi, author of the Anna, Banana series
