📚 Join us for our first book club gathering, ✨️LATINES IN LIT✨️, which will focus on Latine authors and themes! 📚
Why did we choose "Solito: A Memoir"?
✨️ This memoir shares the courageous journey of a 9-year-old boy traveling alone from a small town in El Salvador to the United States, driven by the hope of being reunited with his parents.
✨️ We felt its story echoes the lived experiences of so many within the latin community - stories of sacrifice, separation, resilience, and love. In a time when national conversations around migration and belonging feel especially urgent, this memoir invites us to pause to feel and to honor the humanity at the heart of these journeys.
6-7:30 pm ❤️🙏🏽
