SUMMARY:Celebrating National Reading Month: Grace Lin and Kate Messner
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books celebrates National Reading Month with Caldecott and Newbery honoree Grace Lin and bestselling author Kate Messner as they discuss their new book: “Once Upon A Book.”  This story is a modern folktale about the joy of reading. Inspired by “Alice in Wonderland\,” this book helps young readers explore their creativity on a fun adventure. Paired with vibrant illustrations\, this lyrical story invites the reader to savor each page and indulge in the power of imagination. Join us to learn insights about the book and the significance of Alice’s white rabbit.  Plus\, you will learn about how Chinese symbols and traditions are woven into the story. \nABOUT THE BOOK: Once Upon A Book\nOnce upon a time\, there was a girl. She went to a place alive with colors\, where even the morning dew was warm. Alice loves to imagine herself in the magical pages of her favorite book. So when it flaps its pages and invites her in\, she is swept away to a world of wonder and adventure\, riding camels in the desert\, swimming under the sea with colorful fish\, floating in outer space and more! But when her imaginative journey comes to an end\, she yearns for the place she loves best of all.  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: Grace Lin\nGrace Lin is the recipient of the Children’s Literature Legacy Award and is the bestselling author and illustrator of over 30 books\, including “A Big Mooncake for Little Star” (a Caldecott Honor)\, “A Big Bed for Little Snow\, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” (a Newbery Honor)\, “The Year of the Dog\,” and the “Ling & Ting” series.
