Join Karina Zhou, author-illustrator of Kai’s Tea Eggs, for an author’s talk on children’s literature at Capilano University in North Vancouver, BC (virtual option available).

This talk is one of the many exciting events included in CapU’s Change Education Series this year for Asian Heritage Month. These events delve into the stories of resilience and demonstrations of cultural pride that define the Asian Canadian diaspora—stories that bring awareness to the ongoing struggles against anti-Asian hate, and stories that celebrate the vibrant and joyous cultural diversity of Asian communities.
