What am I reading now? The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
I’ve always had this desire to work at a children’s bookstore. A desire that stems from my passion for children’s literature. I’m happy to report that now I actually do. The Flying Dragon Bookshop is a dream come true. It’s everything I imagined and more.
I describe The Flying Dragon Bookshop as a treasure chest. Those who venture through its door are fortunate enough to behold the jewels that lie within. And let me tell you, there are many. I’m not only talking about the books but also the people.
At the helm, you’ll find a trio of bona fide experts — Cathy Francis, Nina McCreath and Vikki VanSickle. If you’ve got a book related question, you can be sure they’ve got the answer. They encompass a wealth of knowledge that is revered by many, including me. But the speciality of The Flying Dragon Bookshop doesn’t end there.
The tight-knit group that works there is a family. They desire nothing more then to see each other thrive. The same holds true for the patrons that frequent the bookshop religiously. They aren’t just customers, they’re friends.
Being able to match the perfect book with the perfect person at the perfect moment is a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. I’m glad that somebody is me.
“The Flying Dragon Bookshop on the wings of a child’s imagination.”
Thanks for the shout-out!
Vikki, it’s my pleasure!
