Join us for a reading of the book Our Favorite Day by Joowon Oh.

Follow Papa as he goes about his favorite day of the week: Thursday, when he gets to eat dumplings, fly kites and go on other everyday adventures with his grandchild.

Korean writer-illustrator Joowon Oh brings this family story to life through warm watercolor and cut-paper artwork.

After the reading, be sure to visit PEM’s Korean Art gallery.

Designed for children (5 and under) and their caregivers, PEM Pals aims to engage and excite all of the senses through books, movement, music, art and hands-on activities.

Held on the first Friday of the month at 10:30 am.
