Where will Sylvia be next?

I rolled up to the Children’s Museum’s Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience (try saying that five times fast without knocking over your fairy wings) where Bigs, Littles, and entire families celebrated the magic of mentoring— and stocked up on some seriously good summer reads.

Even as a young fairy, I remember fluttering around, watching all the end-of-school festivities from the sidelines. Field Day was the event. Kids running wild with summer energy, popsicles melting faster than you could say “last day,” and me? I was just hoping someone would lose a tooth so I could get in on a little action.

If you heard giggles, stepped in melted snow cone, or saw a glittery trailer surrounded by happy chaos this weekend, that was me, Sylvia, parked proudly at Shake-Up-Day at Monon Works!

This past weekend, I had the joy of fluttering up to Sylvan Learning Center in Carmel for their Community Day — chef’s kiss.

After surviving those infamous roundabouts, I was greeted by perfect weather and book lovers of all ages. From a school librarian on lunch duty to kids plopping down with snacks and new books, it was a day full of sunny, serendipitous moments.

Big Debut Energy–Welp, I did it—I made my grand debut in Indianapolis after my glow-up, and let me tell you, this mobile bookstore was thriving. With fresh paint, new shelves, and a sparkle in my taillights, I rolled into the fairgrounds ready to turn heads. And I did.
