I stopped by on my way to Stella's, the colorful facade of the place luring me in. Thought it was a baby store. Imagine my surprise when I find the most magical local bookstore that with just window-shopping somehow managed to heal wounds from my inner child I didn't know I had. The setup and reading spaces, as well as the offered items are superb, I'd definitely bring my children often. The only disappointing thing in the whole visit was that I did not carry any money with me.

What a treasure! I finally stopped in here looking for a child's gift but realized it is so much more! Books for all ages! Journals, gifts, toys! The greatest space and the nicest staff! It will now be my go to bookstore!

I was already impressed by Second Star to the Right, when I had gone before. I was attracted from the outside in. The art and colorful building seemed so welcoming. This children’s bookstore had plenty to captivate a wide variety of interests and age ranges. A few weeks ago, the moved down the street, just a few blocks, and I was even more impressed. The shop looks like a house from the outside and has several rooms and books on the inside. Not only do I want to buy from this locally owned, independent bookshop, I want to stay awhile. There are not only children’s books, some adult books, fidgets, and other goodies. The shop works hard to be inclusive. Go and take a look! Plus, love the Peter Pan reference in the title of the shop. Street side parking is available.

Wonder-full little bookstore. For kids, youth, and adults who are young at heart. They strive to make books accessible. They stock banned books as well. Great suggestions from super kind and relaxed staff.

Second star is MAGIC ✨ The kids area is adorable and the new adult section has such a great selection. I go with my nanny kiddos at least once a month & it's always so fun!
