The Storybook Shoppe of Beaufort Declares 7-Year-Old “Reader of the Month”
(Beaufort, SC) – Nancy Beaupre, owner of The Storybook Shoppe of Beaufort, located at 23B-1 Market St. in the heart of the Habersham Marketplace, announced the winner of a recently implemented “Reader of the Month” program at her store. Henry Centeno, 7, from Beaufort, is the first reader honored and is the official “December Reader of the Month.”
Centeno, a first grade student at St. Peters Catholic School, was chosen for the number of books he has read from The Storybook Shoppe, on his desire to read and love for exploration. His most recent conquer was “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” by Jeff Kinney.
“He’s into a little bit of everything,” his mother, Sue Centeno, said. “He is a bookworm, that’s for sure. He’s active and involved in a variety of things, but reading is by far his favorite.”
Beaupre, committed to playing an integral role in childhood literacy, implemented the program earlier this month as a means of encouraging children to read.
“I look for children who have an honest interest,” Beaupre said. “I take note of who comes in and how often and what they do when they are here. Henry is someone I see regularly and who keeps me up to date on his latest readings, whether from my store or his own personal collection. He told me his favorite books are the ones that are 217 pages exactly (the number in “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”)…now that’s inspiration”
Winners of The Storybook Shoppe’s “Reader of the Month” program will be honored with acknowledgement on The Storybook Shoppe’s website, www.thestorybookshoppe.com, in the bookstore’s newsletter and will receive a book of his/her choice, compliments of The Storybook Shoppe. A framed photo of each winner will be on display in the store during his/her respective month.

About Habersham
- Description:
- Habersham is a new, coastal town in South Carolina offering more than 1,000 properties including homes, town homes and condominiums. Our town plan, by Duany Plater-Zyberk, is based on the architectural charm that is reminiscent of southern cities such as Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. Lovely streetscapes and traditional southern architecture encourage homeowners to build relationships within Habersham as they stroll along the neighborhood’s quiet oak-lined streets, scenic woodlands, footbridges, walking trails and waterfront parks. With an array of activities, residents enjoy chatting with friends while picking-up mail at the Habersham Post Office; spending the day at a pool located on one of the connected sea islands; catching fish, crabs and shrimp from one of the neighborhood’s docks or lounging in one of Habersham’s parks under ancient live oaks while immersed in a novel. For those who love the water, homeowners can launch their boats from Habersham Creek and explore all of Beaufort's beautiful waterways and sea islands. For more information, call (877) 542-2377 or logon to www.HabershamSC.com
