About the event
Meet Jessica Yoon as she reads her latest picture book, Jeong is Jeong.
“What is Jeong?” a little girl asks her grandma, and so begins a lyrical journey of discovery, kindness, and understanding in this ode to Korean American language and culture.
This Korean concept represents a deep, invisible, and enduring emotional bond of affection, attachment, and a shared feeling that connects people over time. How can one tiny word mean so much? Learn through Luna's eyes how some words can carry a lot of weight and meaning.
After the reading, you'll have a chance to meet the author, participate in a book-related coloring activity for the younger readers, or make a Jeong-inspired bookmark for our older readers.
Snacks, cozy times, and a celebration of all things jeong!
