SUMMARY:Children's Storytime with Author Jessica Yoon
DESCRIPTION:Caretakers\, parents\, and those young at heart- come join us Saturday\, June 27 at 12pm! \nWe are excited to get to host author Jessica Yoon here at the shop! Jessica will be leading us in a story time reading of her book The Legend of Ban-Dal. There will also be craft and coloring activities following the story time. We’ll have copies of Jessica’s books here at the shop for purchase! \n\nJessica Yoon is a #1 New York Times bestselling author from Philadelphia (Go Birds!). Her books include BLACKPINK: A Little Golden Book Biography\, Jeong Is Jeong\, Kpop Demon Hunters: The Official Deluxe Junior Novelization\, The Legend of Ban-Dal\, and My Little Golden Book About K-Pop. She is a member of the Harrisburg Asian Writers Collective and a recipient of the Boyds Mills Anti-Bias Book Bearer Scholarship. When not writing\, Jessica enjoys Pilates\, spicy food\, and spending time with her husband and kids. You can find her online at jessicayoon.com\, on Instagram\, and Substack. \nAbout The Legend of Ban-Dal:\nThis 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. \nIn a small mountainside village\, people live in harmony with nature\, only taking as much as they need. But one day\, a mysterious visitor tempts the villagers with a luxurious life of leisure\, if only they catch more fish from their streams. The visitor’s suggestion brings the villagers wealth and relaxation\, until suddenly their nets come up empty. The villagers fear that a terrible beast has put a curse on their waters\, so a brave young girl journeys to confront the creature. Along her way\, she meets Ban-Dal\, a towering bear protecting the mountain forest. Is Ban-Dal her foe? Or a kindred spirit who will help her break the curse and restore harmony between nature and her people?
