Kansas City artist made her Parade of Hearts sculpture into a little free library: ‘A labor of love’

from Up To Date · host KCUR Studios

The hollow heart-shaped sculpture for this year’s Parade of Hearts was the perfect design to make an art piece double as a community space. Artist Abby Gust Hutter created the sculpture “Read it Forward,” which she turned into a little free library outside of Rainy Day Books. Hutter said the positive feedback has been heartwarming.
