Pickering Book Tree
Our Favourite Thing
Books
The world can be an uncertain and scary place. We believe that books hold the power to provide comfort, hope, and understanding. Books have the power to light the way through darkness. Books inspire positive change. Books hold your hand or give you the hug you needed — someone has been here before, someone else feels the same way.
