DESCRIPTION:Caldecott medallist Allen Say will debut his latest book\, <em>
 Kamishibai Man</em>\, at a special reading and book signing program set fo
 r the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo on Saturday\, Octo
 ber 8\, beginning at 2 p.m.\n\nJapanese-born Say was awarded the Caldecott
  Medal for his book <em>Grandfather’s Journey</em> in 1994. The award is
  presented by the Association for Library Service for Children\, a divisio
 n of the American Library Association\, to the artist of the most distingu
 ished American picture book for children each year. Say’s book about his
  own grandfather’s immigration to America earned him top recognition.\n\
 nIn Say’s latest book\, the Kamishibai Man was someone who used to ride 
 his bicycle into town\, tell stories to the children and sell them candy. 
 Gradually\, fewer and fewer children came running at the sound of his clap
 pers. Finally\, he makes what seems to be one last batch of candy\, and he
  pedals into town to tell one more story—his own. Using two very differe
 nt yet remarkable styles of art\, Say tells a tale within a tale\, transpo
 rting readers seamlessly to the Japan of his memories.\n\nThe program is f
 ree to National Museum members or with admission. To make reservations or 
 for more information\, pleases call the Japanese American National Museum 
 at (213) 625-0414.\n\nJapanese American National Museum\n369 East First St
