Our grandparents and elders have important stories to tell Growing up, many of us would listen to our parents and elders retelling folktales and stories from their childhood. During  each session, we will use an Asian American children’s picture book that celebrates elder/child relationships as a starting point to talk about themes of family separation and home-coming, ancestral knowledge and ancient wisdom.  Additionally, each week participants will have the chance to converse with an award winning Asian-American author or illustrator.

Currently, the story time will be held online, via Zoom. Parents, guardians, and grandparents are encouraged to participate during the story time alongside their kids and grandkids. Families will be invited to talk and share in multiple languages.

Each Storytime will have:

30 Minutes of Storytelling
30 Minutes of Interactive Drawing (Please have paper and crayons or coloring pencils ready)
30 Minutes of Meet and greet with the Author.
