(Starting 1st August, 2020) Becoming by Michelle Obama is “an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.” Why have we chosen this book? Great question!

The Power of Moments is the ultimate book for helping us understand the importance of a single moment. It explains what makes a defining moment and why some meaningful experiences stand out more in our memories than others. When I first read this book, it impacted me so greatly that...
