Every story has the power to connect, surprise, and inspire.
Just like a book, every person holds a story that may surprise, inspire, and change the way we see the world—if we take the time to look closer.
Each book in our collection—spanning every genre and for all ages—is hand-wrapped by our Wagoneers, giving them meaningful, skill-building work. You won’t see the cover or title—only a few key details printed on the front. It’s your chance to be surprised by the beautiful story inside.
Every purchase supports our mission, creates opportunities for our Wagoneers, while reminding us all of the importance of looking beyond the cover. After all, every story is worth discovering.
Be the first to explore our collection! Your ticket includes early access to book selections, along with complimentary beverages and snacks to enjoy while you browse. You’ll also receive a one-of-a-kind bookmark, handmade by our Wagoneers, as a keepsake of the event and a reminder of the beautiful stories that lie beneath the surface.
From October 2–31, explore our collection of hand-wrapped books and discover something new for yourself—or surprise someone special with a unique, pre-wrapped gift. Each selection is a surprise waiting to be opened, and every purchase directly supports our Wagoneers with meaningful opportunities to grow and succeed.
