Author, artist behind children’s book to tour Brooklyn bookstores
Brooklyn BookBeat
There are some children’s books that inspire people of all ages with their profundity, and “Sakura’s Cherry Blossoms” is no exception.
The book touches on such universal themes as the immigrant experience, feeling out of place in a new setting and the love in intergenerational relationships. Its February release is just in time for the cherry blossom festivals, which happen from March to May in many cities across North America. Author Robert Paul Weston introduces readers to the tanka, a traditional Japanese poetry form just in time for poetry month in April.
