I’m on a mission to give 10,000 books to kids.
Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I believe everyone deserves to experience the enchantment, joy, and calm contentment that are conjured up when we read stories we love.
I’m sure you remember the magically bookish days of your own childhood. Sadly, though, many children may not experience this magic simply because they don’t have easy access to books. This is especially true if their families lack reliable transportation, time, or resources to buy books or visit public libraries.
But what if you could help even just one child discover the bookish magic that you remember so fondly?
And what if, at the same time, you could also rediscover the very same bookish magic — the enchantment, joy, and calm contentment that you thought you’d lost along the way? 🤎
On behalf of every Read+Purr Club member,
we’ll give 12 books to a child who needs them.
Let’s rescue your calm from the daily grind.
Our bookishly magical mailings & Tiny Garden Stories are the lifeline you need: the garden gate, the ancient hidden door, the mossy forest path that leads away from stress and toward enchantment, joy, and calm contentment.
Get your nerdy bliss back, with ease.
Don’t wait for someday to reclaim your joy.
Let’s set off — right now — on a quest to recapture the quiet magic of books, hidden gardens, and enchanted forests. These are the places where you can nurture your imagination. Vanquish stress. Find your calm contentment and reclaim your joy.
Read. Breathe. Relax.
Just read. Read what you love: a favorite book; our “Notes from the Reading Nook” emails; our Tiny Garden Stories; the messages tucked inside each of our monthly Read+Purr Club envelopes; or the patterns of dappled sun and shade in the garden. The simple act of focusing on these things will help you discover your calm center amidst the chaos of the day.
Looking for something fun to read?
We’re here for you, sprinkling simple yet beautiful tips, rituals, indulgences, reminders, snippets of nature, and bits of imaginative whimsy along your path like fairy dust.
Get started with three of our favorite Tiny Garden Stories.
What if it were easy?
No matter what life is like, it’s easier than you think to find your calm.
Picture this: You’re indulging in cozy, quiet time to read a few pages of the novel you’re in love with at the moment. You’re comfy — a favorite drink in easy reach, maybe even a cat on your lap — and you’re focused on the exquisite words on the page and the images they conjure in your mind. And you begin to notice how calm and happy you feel in the moment.
Contentment really is as close as your favorite book.
No must-read lists.
No awkward book-club discussions.
No guilt.
When you carve a few quiet minutes out of a crazy day,
the last thing you want to do is required reading.
Some days, you may not feel like reading anything, so you certainly don’t want to spend precious time keeping up with an arbitrary reading goal. And, despite what you may have heard elsewhere, that’s okay!
We don’t believe in must-read lists or even in traditional book clubs.
Here’s what we offer instead: tiny stories full of calm, cozy vibes; magical envelopes (real mail!) stuffed with bookish keepsakes; and permission (not that you really need it) to enjoy reading your favorite books and stories, on your terms, and — for those times you don’t feel like reading at all — to find moments of calm contentment in the garden or the forest, or even in the steam curling up from a mug of hot Earl Grey.
