Story Time: Family and Heritage

Berkeley Public Library - Children's Room

  • Native American
  • Race

Liza Ferneyhough, Laurel Goodluck, Minnie Phan, Sandhya Prabhat, Meera Sriram

Come one, come all for a cozy picture book story time centered on family relationships and self-discovery! Bay Area–based illustrator Minnie Phan presents The Yellow Áo Dài, a heartwarming generational story celebrating Vietnamese culture and identity. From author and illustrator Meera Sriram and Sandya Prabhat, A Garden in My Hands honors the tradition of applying henna through a mother and daughter’s shared family history of love, lineage, and lore. In writer-illustrator Liza Ferneyhough’s transcontinental tale Nana, Nenek, and Nina, San Francisco resident Nina trots the globe to visit her grandmothers, one living in England and the other in Malaysia. Finally, in the moving picture book Forever Cousins, author Laurel Goodluck tells the story of two Native American cousins reconnecting—at last—at a family reunion. Bring your whole family to meet the creators of these touching tales! Ages 3–8.
