We’re talking about Green Bean Books, a picture-perfect children’s bookstore in Portland, Oregon that’s irresistibly charming for budding bookworms… and big bookworms, too!

Known for its next-level window displays and mind-blowing dioramas, Green Bean Books is the kind of enchanting brick-and-mortar children's bookstore that seems to only exist in the movies.
