SUMMARY:Saratoga Book Festival Online: Kao Kalia Yang and Tricia Springstubb in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Saratoga Springs Public Library and Saratoga Book Festival are 
 pleased to present Kao Kalia Yang and Tricia Springstubb in Conversation. 
 In their recent picture books The Most Beautiful Thing by Kao Kalia Yang\, 
 and Khalil and Mr. Hagerty and the Backyard Treasures by Tricia 
 Springstubb\, these two authors illuminate the wisdom of the very young and 
 the very old in beautifully illustrated stories about intergenerational 
 relationships.\n\nThe Most Beautiful Thing\, lavishly illustrated by Khoa 
 Le\, is a memoir of Yang’s early life as a Hmong refugee in Minnesota\, 
 and the surprising lesson she learns from her grandmother about finding 
 beauty in the most unexpected place. Kirkus calls it “a deep and moving 
 reflection on enduring hardship and generational love.”\n\nIn Khalil and 
 Mr. Hagerty and the Backyard Treasures\, with paper-cut collage 
 illustrations by Elaheh Taherian\, an unlikely friendship develops between 
 an inquisitive young boy who lives with his boisterous family in the 
 upstairs apartment of a house\, above an old man\, who lives alone below. 
 Booklist calls it a “wonderful story about making friends\, no matter how 
 old or young you are.”\n\nAlthough very different in their illustrations 
 and style\, these two stories share universal messages about language\, the 
 inevitability of disappointment\, and finding delight in the most 
 surprising places.\n\n
