Miss the days of picture books and comfy care focused bedtime routines? Come get cozy with us and wind down for sleep with stories, yoga and a cuppa ☕️

All Chocolate Chicken events are space spaces for everyone and there will be a focus on community care and celebrating Pride at storytime. Together we hope to be able to host more events like this in the future!

Publisher dreams do come true. 🏴‍☠️
When Mo and Gen started Pownal Street Press, a lot of things felt possible. Publishing a Phoebe Gilman book was not on the list. And yet, here we are.
It is a genuine honour to bring Pirate Pearl back into the world — a new edition of a timeless classic from one of Canada’s most beloved children’s authors. If Jillian Jiggs has a place on your shelf, make room for Pearl. Phoebe’s bold, big-hearted pirate girl sails the seven seas stealing treasure only to give it away just as fast. Irresistible illustrations, a girl who does things her own way, and a heart as big as the ocean.
Pirate Pearl is available now at your local bookstore, or pick up a copy in person at The Chocolate Chicken in Charlottetown — Phoebe’s gallery .gilman
