About this Event
Join 826CHI and The Wicker Park Secret Agent Supply Co to shop small and meet Amoya for story time and crafts with author Dahlia Richards, author of Amoya's Big Move and Amoya's Accent!
Amoya's Big Move
Take a ride with Amoya as she details the day she and her family give away the last of their belongings and prepare to leave Jamaica for Chicago. The little things, such as her favorite ice cream, pop up in her memory as she reconciles the fact that this treat might not be available where she is going. Amoya's Big Move paints a vivid picture of Jamaica as Amoya and her family journey to the airport and say their goodbyes.
Amoya's Accent
Moving to a new country can be hard and Amoya is finding that out firsthand! Not only is the cold chilling her to the bone, but her new classmates are also making fun of the way she talks. Amoya stands up for herself, but will that be enough to fix the situation? Amoya's Accent takes a look into why people sound different from each other and the power of a sharing circle.
This event is free and open to the public. Masks will be required regardless of vaccination. Space will be limited and first come, first served.
