If you want to get a taste of the best of Brooklyn and visit the cutest bookstores and support small shop Saturday, this is the walk for you.

For the longest stretch between Big Reuse and powerhouse; take the bus or an uber to save 20 minutes. Or walk along and see more of Brooklyn. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday. .

Kids will tear up books, want more books, read them and leave them alone forever but overall, to get them engaged and seeing the books, and hearing us read and letting them play, creates imagination and starts the journey of reading. I didn't see the benefit when my first daughter was born, and she struggled in school for a while until we practiced over and over again. For my son after, we made sure to read and we definitely saw a difference in his grades and engagement with books currently as a teen. So now again, for my 2-year-old, I'm hoping to carry on reading as I saw first-hand how important reading was to get started. Even if it doesn't seem like it helps, it does!
