It is with the deepest sadness that we share the passing of Hannah Schwarz, our founder and our inspiration.

Hannah’s love of books and her desire to share them with children has been the backbone of Children’s Book World for 35 years. Her store continues to be an integral part of the community as new generations of readers discover the joy in what Hannah began.
