SUMMARY:Poetry Flash - featuring Terese Svoboda
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 7\n3:00pm\n\nEAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome back our friends from Poetry Flash on Sunday\, October 7th at 3pm. Terese Svoboda will be discussing her book Anything That Burns You: A Portrait of Lola Ridge\, Radical Poet. \nAuthor\, poet\, and memoirist Svoboda takes the reader on a fascinating journey from Ridge’s childhood as a newly arrived Irish immigrant in the grim mining towns of New Zealand\, to her years as a budding writer in Sydney\, Australia\, to her migration to America and the cities of San Francisco\, Chicago\, and New York. Once considered one of the most popular poets of her day\, Ridge later fell out of critical favor due to verse that looked head on at the major issues of her time. This lively portrait is a who’s who of all the key players in the arts\, literature\, and radical politics of the time\, in which Lola Ridge stood front and center. Now more than ever this biography offers inspiration to all those engaged in dissenting literature of our time and the movements that have inspired this renaissance of literary activism that we are seeing today. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSunday\, October 7\, 2018 – 3:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:BINDERY: an afternoon with children's books authors Jim Averbeck\, Julie Downing\, Christy Hale\, and Yuyi Morales
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special afternoon of readings by children’s books authors Jim Averbeck (Trevor)\, Julie Downing (Tessa Takes Wing)\, Christy Hale (Water Land: Land and Water Forms from Aroud the World)\, and Yuyi Morales (Dreamers). Please join us! \n  \nTrevor \nby Jim Averbeck \n  \nTrevor is a lonely yellow canary looking for a friend. \nHe stretches his wings the width of his boring cage and notices the tree outside stretching its branch. And on the end of that branch? Another canary! But he’s so shy and quiet. \nTrevor knows just how to make him feel comfortable. \nThis is an elegantly told\, truly unique tale by author Jim Averbeck and illustrator Amy Hevron\, of a canary who befriends a lemon and finds that you don’t have to be two of a kind to form a meaningful and lasting friendship. \n  \nJim Averbeck works\, plays\, and evades the law in San Francisco\, California. His first book\, In a Blue Room\, was a Charlotte Zolotow Honor book. His popular books Except If and Oh No\, Little Dragon! feature charming protagonists with pointy teeth. His book\, The Market Bowl and his middle grade novel A Hitch at the Fairmont were Junior Library Guild Selections. His book\, One Word From Sophia\, was an IndyNext Top 10 for Summer 2015. Check out his newest picture books: Trevor\, from Neal Porter Books and Two Problems for Sophia from Margaret K. McElderry Books. Spy agencies can find Jim online at jimaverbeck.com. Author photo by Sonya Sones. \n  \n\n  \nTessa Takes Wing\nby Richard Jackson\, illustrated by Julie Downing \n  \nIt’s almost morning and everyone’s asleep. Everyone except Tessa. \n  \nQuiet as a mouse\, Tessa takes flight . . . UP . . . UP until she’s flying high above her crib. Her first stop: her sister Maggie’s blue elephant! Then\, Maggie’s fire truck . . . and her polka-dot umbrella. But she better be quiet and quick before her daddy hears and stops all her fun! \n  \nJulie Downing was born in Denver\, Colorado\, graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and currently lives in San Francisco\, CA\, where she can see a corner of the Golden Gate Bridge from her studio window. Noted for rich\, jewel like watercolor illustrations\, she has illustrated over 45 picture books. Julie’s work has been featured at The Society of Illustrator’s Original Art Show in NYC and has been exhibited at galleries throughout the United States and England. She has won numerous awards for her work\, including a Parent’s Choice Award\, the New York Public Library Best Books Award\, APAAL Best Illustrated Book\, and the Irma Black Silver Medal. She was selected to appear in Talking with Artists Too\, a book about 12 of the nation’s best Children’s’ Book Illustrators. Julie also teaches illustration to both graduate and undergraduate students at the Academy of Art University and UC Berkeley Extension. You can see more of her work at juliedowning.com. \n  \n\n  \nWater Land: Water and Land Forms Around the World\nwritten and illustrated by Christy Hale \n  \nA lake turns into an island. \nA cozy bay into a secluded cape. \nA gulf with sea turtles transforms into a peninsula surrounded by pirate ships. \n  \nThis unique information book for the very young switches between bodies of water and corresponding land masses with the simple turn of a page. Readers will delight as the story of Water Land unfolds and will see just how connected the earth and the water really are. \n  \nChristy Hale has illustrated numerous award-winning books for children\, including two that she also wrote: The East-West House: Noguchi’s\nChildhood in Japan and Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building\, an ALA Notable\, a Boston Globe Horn Book Honor Award Recipient\, an International Reading Association Award winner\, a California Eureka! Award winner\, and much more. An art director\, designer\, and educator\, Hale teaches Writing for Picture Books at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She lives with her family in Palo Alto\, California. \n  \n\n  \nDreamers \nby Yuyi Morales \n  \nCaldecott Honor artist and five-time Pura Belpré Award winnerYuyi Morales tells her own immigration story in this picture-book tribute to the transformative power of hope … and reading. \nIn 1994\, Yuyi Morales left her home in Xalapa\, Mexico and came to the US with her infant son. She left behind nearly everything she owned\, but she didn’t come empty-handed. \nShe brought her strength\, her work\, her passion\, her hopes and dreams…and her stories. Caldecott Honor artist and five-time Pura Belpré winner Yuyi Morales’s gorgeous new picture book Dreamers is about making a home in a new place. Yuyi and her son Kelly’s passage was not easy\, and Yuyi spoke no English whatsoever at the time. But together\, they found an unexpected\, unbelievable place: the public library. There\, book by book\, they untangled the language of this strange new land\, and learned to make their home within it. \nDreamers is a celebration of what migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It’s a story about family. And it’s a story to remind us that we are all dreamers\, bringing our own gifts wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain\, this is a story that is both topical and timeless. \n  \nBorn in Xalapa\, Mexico\, where she currently resides\, Yuyi Morales lived for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area\, where she still maintains close relations with booksellers and librarians. Professional storyteller\, dancer\, choreographer\, puppeteer\, and artist\, she has won the prestigious Pura Belpré Award for Illustration five times\, for Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book (2003)\, Los Gatos Black on Halloween (2006)\, Just in Case: A Trickster Tale and Spanish Alphabet Book (2008)\, Niño Wrestles the World (2013)\, and Viva Frida (2014)\, also a Caldecott Honor Book. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: this event will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nBar opens with doors at 2\, event begins at 4pm. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of any of the authors’ books\, order below and put your request in the comments field.
