📚🌞 Welcome to “Noah’s Book Nook” Our Little Free Library on the West Side in Sunny St. Pete! Check the LFL Map for Info 🌞📚

We’re so excited to share a special little corner of joy with our community! Inspired by our bright, creative, and curious 5-year-old—who is autistic and deeply connected to reading, art, and nature—we’re slowly bringing back to life our Little Free Library that’s more than just a book box.
Noah’s Book Nook is a safe, welcoming space for all kids (and kids-at-heart) to explore stories, swap books, and feel at home.
Please help us grow by offering any donations you may have; all book genres welcome!

Looking forward to continue serving readers on the West Side ✌️

A few books you’ll find waiting for their Next Reader pictured below

Thank you for visiting us 🌴☀️🌻

The Special Mother by Erma Bombeck

Did you ever wonder how mothers of disabled children were chosen? Somehow I visualize God hovering over the earth selecting his instruments of propagation with great care and deliberation.
As He observes, He instructs His angels to make notes in a giant ledger. "This one gets a daughter. The Patron saint will be Cecelia" "This one gets twins. The Patron saint will be Matthew" "This one gets a son. The Patron saint.....give her Gerard. He's used to profanity"
Finally He passes a name to an angel and smiles. "Give her a disabled child". The angel is curious. "Why this one God? She's so happy" "Exactly," smiles God. "Could I give a disabled child to a mother who does not know laughter? That would be cruel!" "But has she patience?" asks the angel. "I don't want her to have too much patience or she will drown in a sea of sorrow and despair. Once the shock and resentment wears off, she'll handle it.
I watched her today, she has that feeling of self and independence that is so necessary in a mother. You see, the child I'm going to give her has his own world. She has to make him live in her world and that's not going to be easy." "But Lord, I don't think she even believes in you" God smiles, "No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect - she has just enough selfishness" The angel gasps - "Selfishness? is that a virtue?" God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally she won't survive. Yes here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect.
She doesn't realize it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a 'spoken word'. She will never consider any 'step' ordinary. When her child says "Momma" for the first time she will be present at a miracle and will know it. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see...ignorance, cruelty and prejudice...and allow her to rise above them.
She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life because she is doing my work as surely as if she is here by my side" "And what about her Patron saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in mid air. God smiles "A mirror will suffice"

Please help spread the word! We are committed to bringing a Safe, Inclusive, Therapeutic Sensory Space to our Community in 2025. Families raising special needs children don't have a Village on their parenting journey and we hope to change that narrative here in our Neighborhood.

Please join us on our Journey to 501c3 with a monetary donation to help get us there!
If your Organization, Small business, Church, or Family woul like more information on how you can help Families struggling under the pressures of disability, please send me an email, or a PM and let's connect!
I can't thank you enough for following along on our Journey, and helping to spread the word!

HELP SPREAD THE WORD!

We are collecting donations to help our fellow Autistic & Special Needs Friends get ready for the School Year this Fall.
Many families cannot afford the increased costs of Sensory specific items of need and our Exceptional Children often go without. A simple accommodation as small as a fidget spinner, a wobble chair, or a compression vest can mean the difference between a Child being able to remain in their current School based on reactivity that may not be suitable without their met Needs.

Thank you for a Like, Comment, Share, or a Donation to help our Friends feel inclusive amongst their Friends.

We appreciate you!
