Cozy Village Play Cafe invites families for a special storytime and play session on April 5, 2026, with local author Omar Abed.

A Northern Virginia–based author (and software engineer who thinks in rhyme!), Abed will be reading from his debut picture book, The Book That Almost Rhymed – a fun, imaginative story about sibling creativity, unexpected ideas, and building adventures together.

Meet and connect with the author in this live storytime event. Regular admission rates apply and include open play. Register here.
