In this hands-on puppet-making workshop, participants will have the opportunity to craft their very own puppets using commonly found materials. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions and stories of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures, they will learn how to bring their creations to life through movement and storytelling.

AMY WU AND THE PATCHWORK DRAGON by Kat Zhang Amy loves craft time at school. But when her teacher asks everyone to make their own dragon, Amy feels stuck. Her first dragon has a long, wingless body, stag-like horns, and eagle claws, but her friends don’t think it’s a real dragon. Then she makes dragons like theirs, but none of them feels quite right...None of them feels like hers. After school, a story from Grandma sparks new inspiration, and Amy rounds up her family to help her. Together, can they make Amy’s perfect dragon?
