Looking for the perfect spot to create lasting memories with your grandchildren? Paper Bird Children’s Books and Arts in Fremantle offers a truly enchanting experience that will captivate both you and the little ones in your life.
A Hidden World Awaits
Tucked away in Fremantle’s historic Moores Building on Henry Street, this isn’t just any bookstore—it’s Perth’s only independent specialist children’s bookstore, and it holds a delightful secret. Watch your grandchildren’s eyes light up when they discover the hidden wardrobe door, complete with hanging fur coats that transport them straight into a Narnia-inspired adventure.
The magic doesn’t stop there. Beyond the wardrobe lies a cosy reading nook with a miniature fireplace—the perfect spot to snuggle up with your grandkids and dive into a good book together. This intimate space creates those precious quiet moments where stories come alive and bonds deepen.
Perfect for All Ages
Whether you’re visiting with toddlers or tweens, Paper Bird caters to every age group. The dedicated reading corner near the entrance welcomes the youngest visitors, while older grandchildren will love exploring the extensive collection of junior fiction and classics on the upper level.
Don’t miss the free Sunday morning storytelling sessions at 9:30 AM—perfect for grandchildren under six. These sessions offer a wonderful opportunity to introduce little ones to the joy of shared storytelling in a welcoming community setting.
More Than Just Books
Paper Bird has evolved into a cultural hub that regularly hosts workshops, book launches, and exhibitions. Check their events page for story-making programs and art workshops that you and your grandchildren can enjoy together. It’s a chance to create something special while spending quality time together.
The bookstore’s carefully curated collection emphasises Australian authors and illustrators, giving you the perfect opportunity to share local stories and culture with your grandchildren. From beloved classics to indigenous stories, there’s something to spark every young imagination.
Creating Lasting Memories
The outdoor courtyard area provides a peaceful space to chat about the books you’ve discovered together, while the beautifully decorated event space upstairs adds to the sense of wonder and exploration.
