ABOUT THE BOOK From award-winning and New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin comes a gorgeous picture book about a community coming together to build something beautiful. When a small stone Buddha falls off a cyclist’s wagon, he lands in a neglected part of a busy city street. People often throw trash here, turning this part of the city into a rather unpleasant sight. But as passersby begin to notice the little stone Buddha, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small change that brightened this shared part of our community? Inspired by a true story, The Little Stone Buddha shows us how a small action—or, in this case, a small Buddha—can change a moment, which can change a decision, which can change the spirit, which can, in the end, change everything. EVENT DETAILS The event is free to the public but due to limited seating registration is requested. Grace’s book will be sold on site by Cover to Cover. A limited number of giveaway copies are available to families, thanks to our donors. Parking available in Main Library’s attached garage, while available.
