The short answer is that Plaid Elephant Books is a youth-focused bookstore. It’s a dream brought lovingly to life. It’s a place for wonder and delight and discovery. As I was dreaming Plaid Elephant Books into existence, three words inspired me. I hope that they inspire you, too! DELIGHT – There is something wonderful about discovering a new book with a child. If we are lucky, our children will re
ad throughout their lives because they love it. Because every new book is an adventure, filled with new friends and incredible discoveries. We have curated a selection of top-quality titles – from board books to young adult – that will delight readers of all ages and stages. PLAY – Plaid Elephant Books isn’t just about books. We also stock toys, games, puzzles, and art supplies. Children learn through play. They have instinctively creative minds and wonderfully imaginative hearts. As supportive adults, our job is to nurture that inherent spark. CONNECTION – Children thrive on connection. Not just with their family, friends, and classmates – but with places, too. We carry memories of treasured places with us into adulthood and those connections shape us in powerful ways. From our location in historic downtown Danville, to the whimsical wall art, to the kid-friendly furnishings, Plaid Elephant Books is designed for children to love. Plaid Elephant Books is a dream many years in the making. I can’t wait to share it with you.
