Join Jew­ish Book Coun­cil and the JCC Man­hat­tan for a sto­ry­time in the lob­by with the 73rd Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award win­ner for the Chil­dren’s Pic­ture Book cat­e­go­ry, Richard Ho, where he will read his win­ning book, Two New Years.

Richard Ho is Chi­nese, Jew­ish, and an author, in any order you wish! His pre­vi­ous books include The Lost Pack­age, illus­trat­ed by Jes­si­ca Lanan, and Year of the Cat, illus­trat­ed by Joce­lyn Li Lan­grand. He loves to craft sto­ries about diverse cul­tures and the delight­ful ways they inter­twine. He and his proud­ly mul­ti­cul­tur­al fam­i­ly live in the melt­ing pot of New Jersey.

Sto­ry­time will be fol­lowed by a fun paper-cut­ting activity.

This event is in part­ner­ship with the Books That Changed My Live Festival
