Happy Mothers’ Day! Welcome back to another weekend morning story time! Calling all mommies, moms, mothers-to-be, grannies, step-moms and you-name-its, it’s a sweet and special story time! This weekend we will celebrate moms with recent and classic picture books. Whether you’re having brunch in the neighborhood or heading over from home, come join us at The Wild Detectives’ little house with stories that are full of fun and feeling. See you in the kids’ section!

*Special note for parents: As usual, we’ll have related extra books on hand in case you are looking for other excellent picture books we recommend! Particular emphasis is placed on striking illustrations, great graphic design or standout writing. Titles may be brand new, old treasures, from home, our kids’ section or the local library, but they are always picked with love and a sense of adventure. If there’s a book you’d love, consider our ordering service!

Kids In The Cliff storytime at The Wild Detectives is every Sunday morning at 11. As people who’ve been there, we strive to select themes or titles that will be interesting enough to pique not only children’s, but also the attending adults’ curiosity. It’ll be about a 30-45 minute read each time with something different and fun for the kids–that’s going to be interesting; we can’t wait to see what they come up with.

All ages are welcome.

On Sunday mornings, bring your kids and infuse them with a love of reading.
