Join Us for a Sweet Storytime!

Back Home: Story Time with My Father by ARLÈNE ELIZABETH CASIMIR. Lune loves hearing her daddy’s stories — the funny ones, the sad ones, the ones with lessons about truth and love. All of Daddy’s stories begin with “lakay” — back home — and each one ushers Lune to Haiti, her father’s homeland. Everyone has stories, her mommy tells her, so Lune begins to wonder: could she have stories of her own, too?
