 VP NOW</a></strong>\n\nJoin author <strong>Katie Yamasaki</strong> as sh
 e reads from and discusses her newest picture book that celebrates the lif
 e of her grandfather\, the acclaimed Japanese American architect Minoru Ya
 masaki. She will also lead a short interactive art activity connected to t
 he story. This event is appropriate for kids of all ages.\n\n<em>ABOUT THE
  BOOK:</em>\nMinoru Yamasaki described the feeling he sought to create in 
 his buildings as serenity\, surprise\, and delight. Here Katie Yamasaki ch
 arts his life and work: his childhood in Seattle’s Japanese immigrant co
 mmunity\, paying his way through college working in Alaska’s notorious s
 almon canneries\, his success in architectural school\, and the transforma
 tive structures he imagined and built. A Japanese American man who faced b
 rutal anti-Asian racism in post-World War II America and an outsider to th
 e architectural establishment\, he nonetheless left his mark on the world\
 , from the American Midwest to New York City\, Asia\, and the Middle East.
  This striking picture book renders one artist’s work through the eyes o
 f another\, and tells a story of a man whose vision\, hard work\, and huma
 nity led him to the pinnacle of his field.\n\n<em>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:</em>\n
 Katie Yamasaki works primarily as a muralist and picture book creator. She
  has painted more than 80 murals around the world\, and her most recent bo
 ok is <em>Dad Bakes</em>. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their
  daughter.
