About this Event

Launch Event:

Author is joining us for the launch of her amazing, culturally rich picture book: !

Ghost siblings Bo and Jin have waited all year to return to the human realm for the festival feast—tables filled with traditional Chinese foods like char siu and dragon beard candy! But when their journey takes unexpected turns, the two hungry ghosts begin to worry they won’t arrive in time. Will they find their feast or will they have to wait another year?

Full of humor and heart, it's a wonderful tale that introduces young readers to the Chinese tradition of the Hungry Ghost Festival. Join us in-store as we celebrate its release!

Sunday, August 16th at 2pm at Our 17th St Store!
