The Praying Mantis Book Launch & Author Reading

Join us for the official launch of The Praying Mantis, a reflective and evocative work that invites readers into a world of storytelling, memory, and quiet wisdom. This book explores themes of resilience, observation, and transformation, drawing on lived experiences, cultural insight, and the power of reflection. Much like the praying mantis itself, the book asks us to pause, to look closely, and to find meaning in stillness and survival.

The launch event will be an evening of community, conversation, and celebration of the written word. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with the author, hear readings from the book, and connect with others who value storytelling as a tool for healing, learning, and legacy-building. Whether you are a long-time supporter of the arts or a new reader curious about the journey behind the pages, this event promises warmth, depth, and inspiration.

Bringing your children to The Praying Mantis book launch offers a meaningful opportunity to introduce them to the power of stories, imagination, and reflection in a warm, welcoming environment. This event is more than a book celebration—it is a space where children can see storytelling modeled as a living tradition, not just something found in textbooks or screens. Through readings and conversation, young listeners learn to slow down, observe, and think deeply about the world around them.
