About this Event
A Bilingual Picture Book Event Celebrating Chinese Culture
Join us for a special bilingual picture book event celebrating Chinese culture and storytelling.
Many children in the U.S. grow up learning about the Western image of the “dragon,” but fewer are introduced to the cultural meaning behind the Chinese Loong (龙).
The beloved picture book I’m a Loong, Not a Dragon helps young readers explore this difference while discovering the beauty of Chinese traditions.
On Saturday, March 14, we are excited to welcome author Cynthia X. Li for a special in-person visit at Yige Cultural Bookstore. Cynthia will read her book live and share the inspiration behind the story.
This family-friendly event is hosted together with Zeta Charter Schools, celebrating culture, literacy, and community.
Come enjoy a warm afternoon of stories, learning, and fun.
