She explained that she learned the habit from her grandmother and mother, who would always pray with her when she was a child. Now, that she is older, she never fails to incorporate it into her everyday life.

The youngster revealed that she wrote the book at 7, but waited until she was older to publish it.

Over the years, the large blended family has shown the world the tight bond they have, and the quarantine only made their connection better.
