Just less than a month away to Día de los Muertos! Leah and her family celebrate this beautiful Mexican tradition every year, where they honor their abuelos who have passed away.

Taking a poll.. Would you be interested in purchasing this t-shirt? I don't currently sell t-shirts, but feel like this one would be special. I bought one for myself and wondered if anyone wanted to buy one as well.

DM me, if so. I would like to place a larger order by Friday, October 9th if people are interested.

Let me know 💜

908 Day feels like a great day to share about the fantastic Long Beach celebration we had this past Saturday @rancholoscerritos ☀️🌊💜

🎨 It was a beautiful morning full of crafting, art, and storytimes that all centered around Long Beach. We celebrated Long Beach’s cultural diversity, landmarks, and community that makes our city such a special place to call home. 🏡

⚡️Children made Long Beach pennants and keychains to show their love for our city, partook in an art lesson by the talented @sunflowerhues, listened to Leah’s Long Beach Adventures in English and Spanish by the author @bhs_writes. 📚

🗣️ The storytime created fun dialogue about what the children recognize in the city, where they love to go, and cultural celebrations across the city they participate in with their families. They also learned of new cultural celebrations and places to visit around the city. 🏙️

Community storytimes and art workshops like these that are supported in part by @artslb and the @longbeachcity are part of what makes this city so unique! They support their creatives and promote free events that benefit the Long Beach community. 💜

Thank you to everyone who came and made our event a success. A special thanks to @notjustamomclub @cwamba_wamba and @meghannhart for helping out and contributing! And to @cjhart.design for photographing and @swh711 for helping with keychains and providing Instapix for guests 🥰

Awesome event @rancho_los_alamitos today! Thank you so much for hosting Cool Crafts and Storytime with my book.

I was so impressed that all the crafts were themed after my book/Long Beach. Thank you, Magarete, for all the work you and the volunteers put into it!! ✨✨✨

It was great to get out and read my book to so many kiddos this afternoon—I’ve barely read it this summer, but this fall I’ll get back into it 😉

Thanks to my friends who brought their kids and surprised me 🥰🥰 and to ALL the new families I met today. It was a true pleasure!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to bookstore owner Chris @pagesagainstthemachine for a terrific book event. Support indie media before it's too late... Chris curates the entire inventory - amazing! Loved chatting with my interrogator, LACMA curator, Dr. Shannon Vittoria, and meeting the Long Beach folks who embraced CHRISTINA AND THE WHITEFISH. #ChristinaAndTheWhitefish #BookReview #AsburyPark #LiteraryFiction #AntiWar #VeteransforPeace #AntiWarFiction #BookClub #WorldBeyondWar #indiebook #indiebookshop #indiebookstores
