Business Owner

Tess has been in the book business for over 25 years. She started working in bookselling at B Dalton Booksellers in Kennewick WA and rose to be store manager for several years. After opening her store in Kennewick she would feature a few Folkmanis puppets with books in her children’s bookstore. As time progressed, she added more and more puppets until the complete line of puppets was carried and had books matched with them in the store and onlline. Her book selections are made to ensure that there is an age appropriate book for the puppets whether it is a board book for the little finger puppets, a hardcover book to be treasured on its own or a softcover book to go with a larger puppet for children’s reading and entertainment.
