📚 A Poplar & Prose Pick

A Nest for Celeste is the story of Celeste, a little mouse searching for a place to call home. Along the way, she discovers that home can be found in unexpected places—and perhaps, most importantly, in the friendships made along the way.

With evocative illustrations and a thoughtful story about art, inspiration, friendship, and belonging, A Nest for Celeste is a warm, beautifully illustrated read for children ages 8–12.

It's a lovely choice for young readers who enjoy stories that invite them to slow down, notice the world around them, and think about what makes a place—or a person—feel like home.

Why We Chose It:

A Nest for Celeste is a particularly lovely book for readers drawn to nature, creativity, friendship, and belonging.

And we have an especially good reason for featuring it: Henry Cole is a local author who calls Loudoun County, Virginia, home.

We're thrilled to share the work of a talented author from right here in our community.
