Storytime Picnic Series Kicks off at Park Siding

Friday, June 9 kicked off the first of this series as we welcomed local author Nasra Noor to read from her first published book, “My Mommy is a School Teacher.”

Nasra is a mother of four daughters and a second-grade teacher in Minneapolis. After years of putting her own ambitions on hold raising her amazing girls, she decided to go back to school to earn her teaching license.

This book inspires all who want to purse their dreams! If you are interested in her book please check out her website at: www.authornasranoor.com

Cedar-Isles-Dean Neighborhood Association is a proud sponsor of this Storytime Series that will bring local authors to share about their culture through their published books and storytelling.

Please be sure to save the date for the next one on Friday, July 15th from 10:45 a.m. -11:30 a.m., which will feature Vietnamese-African American author Thuba Nguyen and her book, "My Daddy Tells Me."
