Green Bean Books

Green Bean Books is a wild and whimsical community-based, independent children's bookstore in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. Our little red house is home to new books, used books, red books, blue books, books for babies through the most grownup grownup! As children’s book lovers for life, we have a ball handpicking an ever-growing selection of board books, picture books, beginning readers, beginning chapter books, middle-readers (tween books), young adult, and even adult titles! We stock hot-off-the-press books, but we also adore the classics! Besides books we have a load of loopy and lovely extras like kaleidoscope kits, birthday cards, Japanese erasers, miniature meal playsets and a whole menagerie of cuddly creatures!

We’ve got regular story times in multiple languages, comics classes, craft stations, summer camps, author visits, poetry slams, and are always planning for more fun! We hope to post as much as we can so you can join in the fun!
