SUMMARY:Kids 8-12/ Susan Adrian in Conversation with Anne Nesbet
DESCRIPTION:Kids 8-12/ Susan Adrian in Conversation with Anne Nesbet\n\n\n\n\ndiscussing Adrian’s new book\, Forever Neverland\, a contemporary sequel to J. M. Barrie’s timeless classic Peter Pan. \n“A magical ode to childhood that updates the classic while keeping its flavor.”–Kirkus Reviews  \n“One of the best representations of autism in middle grade literature. A must purchase for all children who love magic and adventure\, especially those who have longed to see someone like Fergus on the page.”–Lizzie Huxley-Jones\, editor of Stim \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Forever Neverland by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. Neurodiversity welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, August 8\, 2019 – 6:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if Peter Pan wanted to take you to Neverland? Would you go? \nClover and Fergus are the great-great-grandchildren of Wendy Darling (yes\, that Wendy). And now Peter Pan wants to take them to Neverland for the adventure of their lives! But Clover is a little nervous–she’s supposed to look after her brother. Fergus is autistic\, and not everyone makes him feel welcome. What will happen to him in this magical world? \nFergus isn’t nervous at all. To him\, Neverland seems like a dream come true! He’s tired of Clover’s constant mothering and wants some independence\, like Peter and the Lost Boys have. He wonders\, Why can’t the real world be more like Neverland? \nNeverland is fun and free\, but it’s also dangerous and even scary at times. Unfamiliar creatures lurk in the shadows\, and strange sounds come from the waters. And then the mermaids start to go missing. . . . \nIn an imaginative and thoughtful continuation of the story of Peter Pan\, Susan Adrian explores Neverland with a fresh perspective and indelible warmth\, offering a new adventure based on a beloved classic! \nSusan Adrian is a fourth-generation Californian who somehow stumbled into living in Montana. By day she is a scientific editor\, and by night she dreams up wild adventures that sometimes turn into books. She is the author of the holiday fantasy Nutcracked and two thrilling books for teens. Follow her on Twitter @susanadrian and visit her on the web at susanadrian.net. \nAnne Nesbet is the author of The Orphan Band of Springdale\, Cloud and Wallfish\, The Wrinkled Crown\, A Box of Gargoyles\, and The Cabinet of Earths. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705

SUMMARY:Babar in Exile #19: A Family Affair
DESCRIPTION:Babar in Exile hosts an intriguing and unique lineup of readers for their 19th installment\, namely an entire family of poets resulting from the original series. You can often say that a reading series encourages new poets\, but rarely can you say that it’s created one. Back in the good ol’ 90s\, poet and songwriter Kimi Sugioka met writer and activist Richard Stone at the Café Babar\, and eventually collaborated to produce Kai Sugioka-Stone\, a fine piece of writing who is now a poet\, artist\, and world-changer himself. We are proud and excited to feature the one and only (known) family of poets that the Babar series\, however brusquely\, caused. \n  \nSo come on down to check out a slice of Bay Area poetry history\, now and in the making\, and make your way home with a bindle full of inspiration and a thimbleful more hope for the species. \n  \n  \nBabar in Exile #19: A Family Affair \na revival of the Cafe Babar\, Paradise Lounge\, and Club Chameleon reading series \n  \nfeaturing \nKimi Sugioka \nRichard Stone \nand Kai Sugioka-Stone \n  \nand you\, in our infamous open mic \n  \nHosted by Richard Loranger and Paul Corman-Roberts \n  \nPERFORMER BIOS \n  \nKimi Sugioka is a poet\, songwriter\, and educator who tries to confront and illuminate the cognitive dissonance she experiences at every turn in society\, politics\, and media. She has an MFA from The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Publications include various anthologies: Standing Strong! Fillmore & Japantown and Endangered Species\, Enduring Values\, and Civil Liberties United. She has published a book of poetry\, The Language of Birds\, and\, soon to be published\, Wile & Wing. \n  \nAt 54\, Richard Stone is a 31-year-long resident of the Bay Area\, currently residing in a rent controlled shoebox in the heart of the Mission District in SF. He’s served on the Green Party County Council since 2008\, and is a postal delegate to the SF Labor Council. In addition\, Richard serves on the Community Advisory Board at KPFA\, the original public and flagship radio station of the Pacifica Network. Also\, in splitting his range between baritone and bass\, he sings the songs of a Leonard Cohen with the fabulous Conspiracy of Beards. And as a Transcendental Agnostic\, he believes the Oracle and the Architect will redesign the Matrix once the replacement parts are no longer delayed in shipment. \n  \nKai Sugioka-Stone is a writer\, musician\, photographer\, video editor\, and world traveler from the Bay Area. He is currently studying Music at Berkeley City College\, and he recently returned from internships in Brazil and Ecuador. The two trips were part of a gap year program he completed known as LEAPYEAR\, a college-level program that’s accredited through Naropa University in Colorado. He wishes to pursue his life as an artist in mixed media\, writing\, and meditation. Follow him on Instagram @mind.compassion. \n
