MOCAKIDS: Author Meet & Greet with Cynthia X Li & MOCACREATE!

Dragons are mean and scary and breathe fire, right? Not so fast! Learn all about the Chinese dragon, the 龙 (pronounced “Loong”) with author Cynthia X Li in “I’m a Loong, Not a Dragon!” at our MOCAKIDS Author Meet & Greet. Learn some amazing Loong lore in this exciting tale of a Loong at school! After an interactive read-aloud and Q&A, join us to make your very own dancing Loong to parade through the museum.

Reading begins at 2:30 PM, with Q&A and craft to follow. Best for children ages 4-8. Older and younger siblings welcome. Book signing and purchase will follow the reading!

Join us before or after the Author Meet & Greet for MOCACREATE: Build a Bright World with Teaching Artist Yu Rong! Celebrate the opening of our special exhibit, Ed Young’s Bright Worlds, by exploring the visual storytelling used by this award-winning illustrator. What bright world will you create? Share your story by sprinkling salt over glue to create textured characters and imaginative elements. Then add watercolor to bring your ideas to life in vivid color. Browse the exhibit or our collection of Ed Young books for inspiration!
