July 2026 In Person Book Club

In this charming and meditative story by local author-illustrator Meenal Patel, a young girl embarks on a journey to discover the stories all around her.

When Avni receives a journal as a gift, she questions what is worth putting on its blank pages. Through observation, contemplation, and adventure as they walk to their aunt’s house, Avni and her younger sister Isha discover the magic of storytelling hiding in butterfly wings, homemade meals, and shared laughter.

This sweet picture book aims to encourage children to recognize and treasure the stories that make up their own lives.
