SUMMARY:Ibtihaj Muhammad
DESCRIPTION:Meet Ibtihaj Muhammad\, Olympic fencer\, the first Muslim American woman in hijab to compete for the United States in the Olympic Games and the first female Muslim American to medal at the Olympic Games\, winning bronze in the women’s sabre team event. Named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World\, she serves as a sports ambassador for the U.S. State Department\, cofounded Athletes for Impact and the clothing company Louella\, and inspired the first hijabi Barbie in her likeness. \nIn both the youth edition (which includes advice for young readers and is abridged especially for younger readers) and adult edition of her new book Proud\, Ibtihaj tells her moving all-American tale of how she overcame obstacles and racism on the way to following her dream. \nCome to hear Ibtihaj share stories from her unforgettable and inspiring tale of perseverance. Raised by a police officer and an elementary school teacher in New Jersey with five siblings\, Ibtihaj sought out sports as a means to fund college – and fencing was one of the only sports in which she could participate in modest dress. She was fast\, hardworking\, and devoted to her faith. But in a sport most popular with privileged young white people\, Ibtihaj often felt out of place. Rivals and teammates (as well as coaches and officials) pointed out her differences\, insisting she would never succeed. Yet Ibtihaj powered on\, rising above bigotry and other struggles on the path to success. \nBoth editions of Proud share Muhammad’s motivating journey from a young outsider to a national hero. Her story is a relatable\, memorable tale of hard work\, determination\, and self-reliance. \nThis event is for all ages. Come and be inspired.

SUMMARY:Young Adults 12 & up! James Parks & Ben Costa
DESCRIPTION:present Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo Book 2: The Middle-Route Run \nNimona meets Adventure Time in this full-color graphic novel as a singing skeleton continues to search for his origins alongside his gelatin monster sidekick! \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo Book 2 by speaking to a bookseller or ordering on our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, July 29\, 2018 – 3:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\nRickety Stitch is a walking\, talking\, singing skeleton minstrel\, the only animated skeleton in the dungeon who seems to have retained his soul. He has no idea who he used to be when he was covered in a living\, breathing sack of meat and skin. His only clue to his former identity is a song he hears snippets of in his dreams\, an epic bard’s tale that could also explain the old fog covering the comical fantasy land of Eem…Oh\, and his sidekick and only friend is a cube of sentient goo. \nIn this pulse-pounding second volume\, Rickety runs afoul of reanimated beasts\, giant spiders\, and a caravan of rowdy raiders on his quest to uncover the secret of Epoli and learn his true origins. \nJames Parks is a speculative fiction writer and graphic novelist living in the Bay Area. He was weaned on monster flicks\, ghostbusting\, lightsaber duels\, samurai cinema\, and comics–with a sober dose of Victorian literature and ’80s cartoons. Parks is also the author of the southern gothic horror collection The Gospel of Bucky Dennis\,was a staff writer for Campfire Graphic Novels\, and is a member of the Horror Writers Association. \nBen Costa is a writer and artist living in the Bay Area. He self-published two volumes of the award-winning\, martial arts historical fiction comic Pang\, The Wandering Shaolin Monk. Ben has always been passionate about fantasy comics. \nBen maintains a steady diet of samurai comics\, kung fu movies\, spacefaring farm boys\, and tabletop RPGs. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
