He was a boy
who lived with a mother
who could not read,
but remembered every fairy tale
she’d been told…
A century and a half have passed since Hans Christan Andersen’s death, but his stories are more alive than ever. Across languages, borders, and disciplines, his timeless creations have left a footprint beyond measuring. Now, come along back to the beginning and meet the human that came before the legend.

Father braids my hair, just like his,
scented of coconut oil, the familiar tug of fingers on my scalp,
love in every twist...
As a young girl’s father lovingly yet painstakingly braids her hair, he weaves a story about the strength and resilience of their ancestors, Freedmen who walked the Trail of Tears from Mississippi to Oklahoma.

Emmylou doesn't know what to about her family tree project. There’s her, Mama, and the names Mama won’t say—the stories she doesn’t tell.
She only has one family recipe, the one she trades with Mrs. Patel for her mango chutney. No aunts or cousins—only Rosa next door to watch Emmylou after school. No siblings—only Rosa’s baby twins. No zayde like Eli’s to teach her to ride a bike—only Mr. Li.
Finally Emmylou knows what to tell her class. Her family isn’t so small—she just had to look for it.
Saturday, November 15th at 3pm at Our 17th St Store!
