Event Details

🌊📖Join Señor Chon on Friday, May 28th at 10 am on the SDPL Virtual Hub and SY Facebook page, as he reads, When the Cousins Came written and illustrated by Katie Yamasaki, in celebration of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month🌊. Lila is excited for her cousins Takeo and Rosie to visit..."Inspired by the author's own large, diverse family, When the Cousins Came is a sensitive story about insecurity, hosting, and friendship. Katie Yamasaki's tale, paired with bright mixed-media art, reminds children that negative thoughts and anxiety over exclusion don't always translate to reality, and that even when plans go wrong you can still have a good time together."

Special thanks to Holiday House for allowing Señor Chon to share this multicultural family story that celebrates kindness and differences!
