JAPAN JUNCTION Family Story Time & Craft

  • Levy Park Event Pavilion 3801 Eastside Street Houston, TX, 77098 United States (map)

“Japan Junction” is returning to the Levy Park Spring Break Family Storytime lineup.

Join us for a reading of Kumo, The Bashful Cloud by Kyo Maclear and experience a day in the life of Kumo, the shy cloud.

The book depicts Kumo’s journey to discover her place in the sky. Sprinkled with Japanese vocabulary, Kumo imparts a new appreciation for clouds and what they do while reminding readers of the importance of community and the confidence that can arise from friendship and visibility.

[Kumo, The Bashful Cloud] is a quiet satifying tale about being brave enough to take that first step. — Kirkus Reviews

Following the reading of Kumo, The Bashful Cloud, make your own floating kumo with cotton balls.

All craft supplies and instruction will be provided by the Japan-America Society of Houston.

Join us as we slow down to appreciate the ever changing and delicate beauty of nature and all the ways it inspires the imagination.
