Book Launch with Natashia Curtin
September 30, 2024
In September, Natashia (Gamanydjan) Curtin visited Ramingining Library for the launch of her children's book 'Just Like You'.
Natashia grew up in the community of Ramingining and the book is a deeply personal story about her experience.
For the launch of the book, Natashia, come back to Ramingining to reconnect with familiar and new people. It was wonderful to celebrate the launch of this book and celebrate with the community. Kids enjoyed hearing Natashia reading to them and participating in a range of arts and craft activities.
Special thanks to the Ramingining community.
