Homewood-based company Books-A-Million launched its new specialty department Kids-A-Million on Nov. 10, welcoming hundreds of area residents to its flagship store in Colonia Brookwood Plaza.

The new kid-focused department takes up the entire top floor of the store, and features a Lego Build center, a wall of candy and a redesigned cafe now called Little Muggs.

"My favorite is the Yogurt Mountain," said Neyceer Mejia, 7, a Shades Cahaba Elementary Student. "There's lots of different kinds and I like it a lot, but especially the chocolate."

The event also featured raffles with prizes from local and national companies, including Dreamcakes and Taziki's.
