If you can’t make it out tonight, think about picking up a book to share with your children!
An endearing and beautifully illustrated childrenโs book about learning to embrace our heritage and celebrating what makes us unique Multicultural Day is coming up at school, and Kai is nervous about sharing her familyโs Chinese food with her classmates. Kaiโs mother is excited about making some special dishes, but Kai doesnโt like feeling different from everyone else. Upset, she runs off on her own and meets Ming the dragon, who takes her on a magical journey to explore different parts of Chinese cultureโespecially all the delicious food! With Mingโs help, Kai learns about her family roots and how to celebrate all that makes her unique. This a charming story for anyone who, like Kai, has felt the frustration of trying to fit in before finally learning to appreciate who they are. Children aged 3 to 7 would enjoy this book.
Kaiโs Tea Eggs was written by Karina Zhou, a Chinese Canadian writer and artist from Vancouver studying animation in San Francisco. Her debut childrenโs book, Kaiโs Tea Eggs, was inspired by her own experiences growing up in Canada and learning to embrace her Chinese family heritage.
