Grown Up Book Club at Alice Ever After on June 23, 2026

Grown Up Book Club reads The Book of Delights

Grown Ups get together and talk about a book - in a children's bookstore. What could be better than that?! In June we are collaborating with Just Buffalo's In Gratitude project! In Gratitude is a city-wide reading and writing initiative designed to bring our community together. This project invites us all to practice “unabashed gratitude”—a concept inspired by the renowned poet and essayist Ross Gay.
