Happier Now Kids Story Hour with Scattering Joy

Join us for story time at the super cozy Happier Now Cafe and Market (1016 E. 31st, LaGrange Park, IL). Books are specially picked out for ages 2-8, with a short activity thrown in for fun. AND, kids can pick a book to take home from the little free library at Happier Now.

10th Story Hour 6/8/25 Father's Day Fun
Next Sunday is Father's Day, and we had fun reading stories about ways we love (and are loved by) the daddies (and grandpas, uncles, family friends) in our lives. The ties we made to give them next week turned out great. Who knew stickers would be such a hit?
And for those kids who came, after the lucky tie recipient wears it on Sunday, take off the string and laminate it for a bookmark!
