As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “What is God?: A Rusty’s Neighborhood Series” by Joyce Bolton.
What Is God? is a heartwarming and thought-provoking story that follows the journey of an inquisitive eight-year-old boy named Rusty. One day, after noticing how much his best friend values attending Sunday School, Rusty turns to his mother with a simple yet profound question: “What is God?” Though he has heard about God many times, he realizes he doesn’t truly understand who—or what—God is.
Touched by her son’s sincerity, Rusty’s mother joins him on a journey of discovery, as they explore this age-old question together. Through thoughtful conversation, curiosity, and quiet moments of reflection, mother and son begin to uncover a deeper understanding of faith, spirituality, and the presence of God in everyday life.
This uplifting story is perfect for readers of all ages—especially for those who are searching for answers, struggling to put their beliefs into words, or seeking a way to explain the concept of God to children or loved ones. Whether you’re asking the question yourself, think you already know the answer, or simply want to be able to articulate it more clearly, What Is God? offers a gentle, meaningful exploration of one of life’s biggest questions.
