East Nashville (Five Points Alley Shops), Nashville, TN

Fairytales Bookstore

Heads up: Children's books for ages 0-13 only. Books need a professional binding with title and author on the spine, an ISBN and availability through Ingram or a major publisher. Email only: no walk-in or phone inquiries, and unsolicited copies are donated. Nashville-based authors and illustrators get priority. No room for greeting cards, calendars, tote bags or clothing. They reach out only if they can carry the book.

Nashville's tiniest children's bookstore (168 sq ft) in Five Points, owned by local author Kelly Byrd: kids' books, toys, crafts, games and art supplies, with local authors' and artists' work.
