Join the Chinese American Museum and Miss Rita from the Los Angeles Public Library’s Chinatown branch for this month’s Kids’ Storytime on Thursday, April 18, at 4pm PDT. Miss Rita will be reading Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon by Ying Chang Compestine.
This book is suitable for ages 4-8, though we welcome children of all ages with parental supervision.
This program is hosted virtually on Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out closer to the event date.
Kids’ Storytime ft. Asian American Authors is hosted in partnership with the Chinatown Branch Library.
About the book:
Everyone thinks they know this story, but do they really? In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood travels to her grandmother’s house and encounters something much scarier than a wolf—a dragon! With her sword in hand, Little Red must learn to protect the people she loves.
