Yellow Bird Books Aurora

My partner and I visited this adorable bookstore a couple weeks ago after I saw a post for a winter solstice book that caught my attention. This bookstore has such a wonderfully curated selection of books; it was difficult for me not to grab three or four to take home for myself. I am happy to know I now have a local bookstore I can go to when I want to shop for anyone special in my life. Tomorrow I plan to go back to pick up a couple more books for family.

I've visited Yellow Bird Books twice--the first time by myself, the second time today with my many daughters. I spend an unjustifiable amount of time in bookstores and am a big believer in the cultural importance of the brick-and-mortar bookstore and the browsing experience (see Jeff Deutsch's In Praise of Good Bookstores on this point), so please believe me when I report that Yellow Bird Books is an excellent new bookstore. You can look thoroughly through the whole store in 30 minutes, but you will be surprised and pleased almost constantly by the literary quality and quirkiness of the shelves' contents. My daughters also enjoyed their time there this afternoon; the picture-book and children's chapter-book sections were likewise rich and wisely curated.

I plan to visit again many times and hope Yellow Bird Books can thrive in downtown Aurora.

A delightfully cute and friendly independent book store in the heart of downtown Aurora. Small but well curated and diverse selection of books. Locally made art, crafts and gifts. A must stop when you are in Aurora's downtown.

Coolest store ever! Please patron small businesses! The owners are amazing, and the book variety is vast with multiple genres.

small book store in downtown Aurora with a solid selection of children's books for the kiddos - they just opened this past month!!

Excellent selection of books and gifts!

Charming and inviting. Great selection!

I was excited to check this place out but was a bit disappointed. I was the only one in the shop & I received no customer service , it was a little awkward. Being a new store, I’d like the worker to be open and friendly. All books are retail priced, of course. It was cute but probably won’t be back.
