The Vill X Babee Book Club: Storytime with Valerie Thompkins/Coffee Social

The Vill is a social club for cool moms in Atlanta, focused on curating elevated and intentional events for moms interested in building community and navigating motherhood together.

Babee Book Club is an amazing family growth and development studio that specializes in the social and emotional development of the entire family! It is a third space for families and individuals to come together and build community through literacy and art.

This event is best suited for kids 4+. While the kids dive into a great story, moms can sip on coffee from @bondandbrewcoffee (shoutout to one of our very own Vill moms! 💛) and connect with other moms in the community.

There are limited spots available, so if you grab a spot, please only RSVP if you can 100% make it—we want to make sure everyone who wants in gets a chance.
