This moment will be imprinted on my heart forever. I walked into Redondo Beach Library’s storytime room to see a room full of smiling friends and community members. The librarian expected 30 people on a rainy Wednesday at 4pm.

But that day there were 70 people! And this number is not a reflection of me, it is a reflection of my community. That smile on my face is pure joy and gratitude.

Thank you Redondo Beach Library and Pages A Bookstore for helping me share Moon’s Ramadan.

In Joy,

Natasha
