For 2E* bookworms: sensory-friendly book shopping in Decatur
Little Shop of Stories book store in downtown Decatur is hosting a “low sensory shopping experience” for children with sensory sensitivities on Sunday, September 10, from 11 a.m. to noon. They’ll turn down the lights, keep the noise level low, and offer individualized attention from their staff.
If you want to attend, you must register in advance.
I can personally recommend Little Shop of Stories as a fantastic independent bookstore. They have a vast selection of children’s books, from board books through young adult novels. Their staff are extremely knowledgable about children’s literature and enjoy recommending a child’s next great read.

* Wondering what 2E means? It’s an acronym for “twice exceptional,” and refers to individuals who are both gifted and learning or developmentally disabled.
