Plaid Elephant Books is central Kentucky's only independent children's bookstore. This new shirt design is a chance to affirm some of our core store values. Proceeds from shirt purchases will support the Give-A-Book classroom subscription* program, which provides free books to local teachers.

We celebrate families in all their varied, beautiful permutations.

 We believe ALL children - and grownups! - deserve to see themselves and their families represented in books.

 We think ALL readers benefit from exposure to diverse stories and diverse representation within those stories.

 YOU are welcome in this store!

* If you're not a merch-wearer but want to support the Give-A-Book program, you can sponsor a teacher via our website! https://plaidelephantbooks.com/community-services/give-a-book
