The August Tree is a book shop and gift shop located inside Queens Museum in New York City. We had partnered with Queens Museum to become their official gift shop. Curated with the celebration of Queens in mind, books and products feature the Queens urban lifestyle, art, history, diversity and empowerment for its community. Our books for children teach kindness and inclusivity, and celebrate different cultures. We carry them in different languages and update titles bi-weekly, with the objective of building our neighborhood kids home libraries. Our toys supplement our books' themes and messages, are sustainable, educational, and with a low price point. Our books for adults feature creative development, self-empowerment, diversity and multiculturalism. We are also very proud of our Hecho Local line, which are product collaborations by Queens makers. We are proudly a store for Queens, by Queens.

A superb, little gift shop. It helped keep my kids interested for almost 30 minutes. Many unique and fun products available. Oddly, it was one of the highlights of our trip and I typically despise gift shops.

Excellent customer service! My items were packed carefully and were even beautifully wrapped! This store has something for everyone young and old alike. I'm so happy I found this website! It's my go to site for unique and high quality gifts for friends and family. The owner is very hands on and gives her personal touch in every package you receive! Love love love The August Tree! ❤
