“Story Time” for Caregivers is a monthly series at Astoria Bookshop in Queens, New York. Taking place at traditional story hour, 11:30am, “Story Time” for Caregivers is a literary event for the adults in attendance, who are welcome to bring their babies and toddlers along! Each month a reader shares their own poetry or prose, we have a great discussion around the reading, and the reader closes with a baby/kids book. It is a warm, welcoming space to participate in something for you, surrounded by other grown ups who don’t mind if your baby spits up or your toddler has a screaming tantrum in the middle of the floor. We welcome parents, grandparents, nannies, and/or anyone who wants to attend a morning literary event (some of us get tired at night!).
Visit astoriabookshop.com for more information and to find out who is reading next. Past readers include Emily Hockaday, Pichchenda Bao, Jared Harél, Ananda Lima, and Catherine LaSota.
I’d love to do a one-off “story time” at your bookshop or location; just reach out through my contact form so we can chat!
