Celebrate the launch of Sunny Side Songs: Back to The Garden, the first in a series of children’s books written by Ngonda Badila and illustrated by her twin sister, Ntangou Badila. This vibrant celebration will include a musical performance and storytime, music activities for children, book sales, signing, and refreshments! Children ages 4 and older are invited to arrive early for a banjo-playing workshop led by special guest, Zack Munsell of Friendly Banjos. Featuring rewritten nursery rhymes that promote nutritional, spiritual, and mental wellness, these books share positive messages through story and music. This first installment includes an audiobook soundtrack by Ngonda Badila (aka Lady Moon), accompanied by guitarist Farhad Farahmand. Join us in celebrating this joyful book with an event filled with music, inspiration, laughter, and community!
