<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kirk-cameron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kirk Cameron</a> called the attendance for a story hour featuring his new faith-based children&#8217;s book &#8220;As You Grow&#8221; &#8220;overwhelming&#8221; after his publisher said nearly 1,000 people packed a Southern California library.</p>
<p>On Saturday, the 52-year-old actor hosted a story time at the Placentia Library, about 30 miles outside of Los Angeles, where his publisher told the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/1000-people-california-library-story-time-kirk-cameron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a> around 1,000 parents and kids showed up to hear the new book.</p>
<p>&#8220;All the forces of darkness are no match for moms and dads who are committed to God, and to their family, and to teaching their children,&#8221; Cameron told the crowd.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Growing Pains&#8221; star said that despite libraries choosing not to sponsor, announce, or promote his story times, he is renting the reading rooms, and that &#8220;people are finding out anyway,&#8221; with attendance being &#8220;overwhelming,&#8221; the outlet noted.</p>

<p>Cameron&#8217;s publisher tweeted out footage of the crowd that turned up for the actor&#8217;s story hour, stating, &#8220;Nobody can stand in the way of God fearing, loving fathers and mothers!

<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the Placentia Library to verify the crowd size, and Jeanette Contreras, the Library Director for Placentia Library District, told us &#8220;our estimate was 700.”</p>
