Cycles of work, event, and eat/sleep

Updated: April 13, 2009

It's been a great year going to events, meeting you and making new friends. But our careers are keeping us busy and we won't be able to keep up with the demands to keep up with the event alerts. We will post our reviews when we have a chance from time to time.

Please see right panel for sites we check for unique and fun events from less well-known organizations. See you there -- and don't forget to say hi

Love, peace and music, Jade & CHRIS - )

Book Talk: Naomi's Tree (May 8, 2008)

Event: Book Talk: Naomi's Tree by Joy Kogawa, Illustrated by Ruth Ohi
Organizer: The Japan Foundation & Fitzhenry & Whiteside
Cost: Free! (RSVP required)
Pre-event estimate: 3 out of 5
Post-event estimate: 4 out of 5

I love children's book for the simple and logical message and the happy ending! Kogawa turned a sad event for Japanese Canadians in the past into a ppositive message on friendship for everyone in the world. I also enjoyed the brief but enthusiastic drawing demonstration by the illustrator. Read the book and spread the love to others, like the cherry blossoms!
