“She just kept saying how the Library of Congress is her most favorite, favorite, favorite library in the whole wide world,” Daliyah’s mother Haleema Arana told The Washington Post.
Since completing the “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” program, the rising champion of literary arts has vowed to read 500 more before starting classes next fall, when she hopes to assist her future teacher with helping others learn how to read.
