the little chapters
book club
Our first Little Chapters Book Club will be launching in Independent Bookshop Week 2026 and we couldn't be more excited! Designed especially for children aged 8–12 who love stories, imagination, and getting a little bit creative along the way.
​
Each session, we’ll dive into a brilliant book together, with relaxed, guided chats (no pressure, just sharing ideas!), followed by hands-on crafts and activities inspired by the story. It’s all about building confidence, sparking a love of reading, and creating a space where children can explore books in a fun, welcoming environment.
​
Whether they’re already a big reader or just starting to find their favourite stories, Little Chapters Club is a lovely way to make new friends, discover new books, and enjoy a little bookshop magic. ✨
