High Five Books & Art Always, a children's bookstore and art studio that share a space, officially opened its doors yesterday in downtown Florence, Mass.
The bookstore side of the business sells picture books, titles for early and middle grade readers and young adult books, as well as graphic novels. Art Always, meanwhile, offers a variety of art classes for children and also sells art kits and creative supplies.
High Five Books is owned by Lexi Walters Wright, and Lindsay Fogg-Willits owns Art Always. And though High Five Books is Walters Wright's first foray into bookselling, Fogg-Willits has been operating Art Always for the past 18 years.
Walters Wright and Fogg-Willits will host a grand opening on October 18.
