Please join us for a book reading with childrens book author/illustrator and Boston-native Joyce Wan. Joyce Wan will be reading and signing her new children's book, 'Greetings from Kiwi and Pear.' The book follows two jet-setting monkeys as they travel around the world visiting such famous landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids of Giza, the Taj Mahal, and the Great Wall of China.

A fun and thoughtful way to introduce young children to geography and foreign places. The event is being co-sponsored by the organization Families with Children from China.
