August 12th is Love Your Book Shop Day! It’s the day book shop owners get to celebrate all of the lovely folks who come into our shops, while book lovers around the country get to celebrate their local independent book shop. We can’t wait!
We’re having a party and will have other exciting celebrations to be announced soon but given our love for donkeys, we figured a little colouring in activity would be a wonderful starting point!

We don’t want to judge the pictures because we know they will all be amazing and fabulous so entries will have the bottom section clipped off with the details of the the artist and put into a lucky draw with a winner announced on Love your Book Shop Day! They’ll receive a $50 gift voucher to use in store!
You can download and print the colouring in page here or you pick up one in store. There’s no age limit and we’re happy to receive posted entries!
