In Williamsburg Family News... Here's a new Brooklyn kids' shoe store to add to our roundup: the recently opened Wonderwolf, a designer children's footwear boutique that stocks high-end international brands like the ballerina-inspired Anniel, the Australian-based Old Soles and Feiyue’s classically designed kicks. Before you worry the nabe's totally gone to the breeders, it sounds like SummerStarz, East River State Park's annual movie series for families, won't be happening this year.

Ever read a Kafka novel and think, wow, that would make a great kids' book? Me neither. But apparently Matthue Roth disagrees. His picture book My First Kafka, which has striking black-and-white illustrations by Rohan Daniel Eason, comes out June 15. The thought of it makes us laugh but who knows... maybe you can never be too young to learn about alienation, futility and failure.

New Treats Smush NYC, a dessert delicatessen where you can customize your own ice cream bars, just opened up in Union Square. We tried its Bryant Park popup over the holidays and the sweets are sinful... as well as pricey. But it's worth indulging on a special occasion.
