Families can celebrate Filipino American History Month by attending author Rachell Abalos's reading of her children's book Our Nipa Hut: A Story in the Philippines. She will also lead a craft based on her book.

In this book, Yelena and Papa take care of their traditional Filipino dwelling – their nipa hut – and it takes care of them. But when a tropical storm roars towards the Philippines, their preparation will be put to the test.
