So excited to be helping out a wonderful charity in San Jose, CA., Hope's Corner, that my sister Shirin volunteers with. They provide nutritious meals & warm showers to those in need. I'll be reading LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING to families and kids and facilitating a fun dragon boat racing activity.
