As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Strong Families Alliance (SFA) of Alameda County will host a virtual Family Story Time on Friday, April 9 from 3:30PM – 5:00PM with Bay Area authors Nancy Johnson James and Dr. Khalid White. This is one of many activities SFA is providing during the month of April to help strengthen parent/child relationships.

Families with children ages 0-9 years old will have the opportunity to hear Nancy read her book Brown: The Many Shades of Love, and Khalid will read in both English and Spanish his book Hermanita (Little Sister). Parents and their children will participate in a Q&A session with the authors following each reading.
