Legend of Ban-Dal Storytime and crafts with Jess Yoon

Join author Jess Yoon as she shares her latest picture book, the Legend of Ban Dal. This modern Korean folktale about how the Asian black bear got its characteristic patch is a timely story about the delicate balance humans have with nature and about the trappings of greed and overconsumption.

Along with the storytime we will have crafts and activities, plus a Q&A with Jess.
