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

Was this blog post helpful? I love creating articles, printables, and activities for families, teachers, librarians, and fellow creatives. If something here helped you today, I’d be grateful if you’d consider supporting my work. One of the easiest (and free!) ways to help is to request my newest books from your school or public library: Bela and Lily and Lulu in the Spotlight. Books also make thoughtful gifts for classrooms, birthdays, and holidays, if you would like to purchase one. Thank you for reading!
