About this Event
A free, literary event to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) Heritage Month. Featuring local authors with children’s books exploring themes of identity, culture, and a sense of belonging. This event includes a panel discussion with the authors, book readings, and activities for children and families.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Thelma Sevilla and invites our guests to be part of an intimate discussion with our featured authors: Annie Cheng, Lori Matsukawa, Andy Chou Musser, Suma Subramaniam, and Cindy Wong.
After the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to choose and attend book readings with the authors in different spaces of the Filipino Community Center. There will be two book reading sessions with all five authors, each lasting 15-25 minutes.
Our guests are then invited to stay for an afternoon of fun through arts and crafts activities and photo opportunities with Magic in the PNW princess and characters. Hosted by founder Narriana Silva.
Attendees can purchase books on-site through our community partners: Mam's Books and Wing Luke Museum's Marketplace. Food and drinks are available for purchase through Talyer (Chef Jonnah Ayala). Free parking. All are welcome!
This event is sponsored by the Filipino Community of Seattle's Social, Arts, and Culture Program. In partnership with PSESD, Mam's Books, Magic in the PNW, Wing Luke Museum, and Talyer.
