✨ What if the key to embracing who you are was hidden inside a glowing star?

In this heartfelt picture book, Tala, a young Filipino American girl, becomes fascinated with the traditional parol star lantern. Her curiosity sparks a journey that brings three generations together to re-discover their roots, share traditions, and shine brightly for all to see.

Now available in a special edition 10"x10" hardcover with Educator & Parent Guide. Time to Shine is a radiant celebration of family traditions, and the courage to be yourself.

As Tala proudly declares:
"I like being Filipino and American. I like being different. I like being me!"

When their lantern glows in the window, it becomes more than decoration--it's a beacon of hope, heritage, and cultural pride.
