We are thrilled to have Joanna Ho, New York Times bestselling author, back at Kepler’s to launch her latest picture book Say My Name. Joanna’s lyricism combined with the gorgeous illustrations by Khoa Lee tell a beautiful story about our names.
Names are passed down from previous generations and hold so much culture and tradition. They hold the hopes and dreams of our ancestors. Names are a celebration of all those who came before us and those that will come after. A beautiful and heartwarming story that you are going to need in your library.
Join us to celebrate the launch of Say My Name and pick up a copy or two for friends and family!
