My passion for words, spoken and written,
has influenced everything I do.
My favorite poet, Emily Dickinson,
(my daughter, Emily, is named for her) wrote,

That is my motto. I feel like my love of kids, music, dance,
theatre and books, books, books, have all come together
in creating The Storybook Mom. It somehow chose me and
sharing stories with children has given more back to me
than I could ever begin to give them.

You could say the story is writing itself.

Little Pea
by Amy Krause Rosenthal
A sweet quirky book that
makes you like vegetables more
than candy!

Pete’s A Pizza
by William Steig
A father cheers up his son
by making him into a pizza

Chocolatina
by Eric Kraft
A fun fantasy as Tina wishes
“you are what you eat” and
turns into chocolate

Review from the Book Cellar
Nili has been our in- house storyteller from the day the bookstore opened. She has drawn a devoted group of kids and grownup alike. Our story times take place in our café and Nili says it is her dream come true. She always wanted to have a place that moms could drink coffee, talk and relax while their children were involved in a fun activity.
