“Quote of the Day

'I Want the Shop to Give Other People What Books Have Always Given Me: a Bit of Calm and Care in Chaos'

"I want the shop to give other people what books have always given me: a bit of calm and care in chaos. Somewhere to chill and discover good stories and amazing art, warm and welcoming enough that on a bad day you can come in and find a book to escape into. Books are how I found comfort and stability in my own childhood, and I think that was a gift.... The practical goals follow from that. I want Nuts & Shells to be a fixture people build into their week, not a place they visit once, and I want the shelves to respond to what young readers actually want to read and see." 

Nadia Alam, children's books illustrator and owner of Nuts & Shells Bookshop in Toronto, Ont., Canada, in Quill & Quire's Shop Talk series
