High Five Books

High Five Books is an independent kids’ community bookstore in downtown Florence, Massachusetts, right off the bike path. They've quickly become the neighborhood go-to for graphic novels, middle-grade and young adult readers, and picture books, plus art kits + other creative supplies for families. The High Five Books collection is strongly based in social justice and LGBTQIA+ themes, and the team loves seeing readers find themselves on their shelves.
