Join us for Family Reading Time with local children’s book illustrator Michelle Jing Chan. Michelle will be reading from her new book Moonlight Memories and we will have copies available to sign. Moonlight Memories is written by Amanda Davis and illustrated by Michelle Jing Chan and this will be the debut and launch of their book here in Seattle.

MOONLIGHT MEMORIES tells the story of a young girl who is dealing with the loss of a loved one and finds comfort and healing through creativity. This story holds a special place in my heart as it was inspired by my own personal experience with loss. At the young age of twelve, my father passed away. After his death, I was unsure of how to cope with this unexpected loss. It wasn’t until I found art and writing that I was able to fully process the thoughts and emotions surrounding his death. I found my outlet. I found my voice. I soon realized that my father would always live on through the memories I was creating with my words and visuals. To this day, I often look to the sky and feel his presence.
