NEW CANAAN, Conn., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Meet Bibli, a little bookshelf searching for a story about someone just like him . . .
Once upon a time in a library like any other, there lived a little bookshelf named Bibli who carried a BIG question on his shelves: "Could there be a story somewhere about a bookshelf, like me?" Bibli is told that bookshelves are supposed to hold stories not have ones of their own. But everything changes when he meets Cassie: a girl longing for a friend just as much as Bibli longs for a story to relate to. Bibli learns that with kindness, empathy and friendship even your wildest dreams can come true and that everyone has a unique story worth sharing.
