An empowering afternoon of storytelling, imagination, and joy!
Join us for a special storytime with local writer Bonita Lee, author of Go on Lil’ Sista, Go On—a poetic anthem and uplifting reminder to young Black girls that they can be anything they want to be! Bonita’s debut children's book is a celebration of strength, self-love, and cultural pride.
This vibrant, heartfelt story not only gives Black girls powerful visual representation and voice, but also helps all children appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Black Diaspora. Bonita believes every child—Black and non-Black—deserves to see Black girls as heroes in the books they read.
This event is perfect for young readers and their families, because this book allows all people to have a shared cultural experience that fosters an appreciation for ethnicities other than their own. Come ready to clap, cheer, and celebrate the magic of books that lift us all up!
