SUMMARY:Exhibition: Ed Young’s Bright Worlds
DESCRIPTION:For over 60 years\, Ed Young (1931–2023) invigorated the world of children’s books through intimate storytelling\, inventive artistry\, and potent emotionality. This first U.S. retrospective features original artwork from 15 of his most significant projects—focusing on works drawn from his personal story and Chinese folktales—alongside a selection of his sketchbooks\, family photos\, and personal effects. \nYoung achieved distinction as a beloved storyteller and illustrator who challenged younger audiences with pictorial and moral complexity. He was a towering figure in children’s literature\, reaching wide audiences while earning the field’s top honors. His retelling of the Chinese “Little Red Riding Hood\,” Lon Po Po\, introduced generations of children to Chinese folklore and won the Caldecott Medal; he also received two Caldecott Honors for earlier works. Across his career\, he garnered numerous accolades\, including multiple selections for The New York Times’ “10 Best Illustrated Children’s Books” list. \nThe exhibition traces Young’s family life in Shanghai\, where he was the fourth youngest of five children. As a teenager\, he and his brother were sent to live in Hong Kong to flee the civil war in China. He immigrated to America for college\, eventually earning an art degree from the ArtCenter School in Los Angeles\, and then moved to New York. “I set out with $20 borrowed money in my pocket to bet my life in New York City\,” he wrote. After being laid off from an advertising studio\, he submitted sketches to children’s book publisher Ursula Nordstrom\, who hired him to illustrate The Mean Mouse and Other Mean Stories (1962)\, launching a career that would span over 100 books. \nHis most memorable projects were deeply personal. Ed Young’s Bright Worlds guides viewers through key moments of his life and oeuvre with original artwork from The House Baba Built (2011)\, about his childhood in Japan-occupied Shanghai; Voices of the Heart (1997)\, exploring Chinese culture through the relationship between writing\, image and his lifelong tai chi practice; My Mei Mei (2006)\, on adopting his daughters; and Bright World (2024)\, a book published posthumously in China\, meditating on the cyclical nature of life. \n“So many of us grew up on Ed Young’s art and storytelling\,” said Herb Tam\, MOCA’s Chief Curator. “This exhibition will reveal what went into crafting masterworks of the children’s book form. Visitors will be enchanted by his fluent handling of media—from pastel and cut paper to pen\, ink\, and collage—and inspired by his story as a resourceful immigrant striving to make his mark in a creative field.” \n“As a father of three\, I’ve seen firsthand how children’s books shape the way we see the world\,” said Michael Lee\, MOCA’s President. “The imagery and storytelling stay with us—they become part of our family conversations\, our imaginations\, and even the way we share stories later in life. It’s a special honor to explore the life and mind of Ed Young\, whose work has inspired generations. Through this exhibition\, we not only celebrate his extraordinary achievements but also revisit how deeply his art was shaped by his journey as a Chinese American—reflecting his early life in China and the graceful balance he found as a lifelong practitioner of tai chi.” \nEd Young’s Bright Worlds is part of MOCA’s Luminaries for America250\, a yearlong celebration of Chinese American historymakers at the Semiquincentennial.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Shared Lines: Asian American Stories on Route 66
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 might be the U.S.’s most famous highway. Traversing the country from Santa Monica\, CA to Chicago\, IL\, it’s been immortalized in songs\, books\, and movies. But along that iconic highway are stories that are far lesser known. \nWith a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, illustrator Sammy Yuen set out on a roadtrip to capture those stories. This exhibition — coinciding with Route 66’s 100th anniversary this fall — brings some of them to life. \nLike the stone guardian lions that appeared out of nowhere in Amboy\, CA\, a former ghost town purchased by Japanese American restaurateur and preservationist\, Albert Okura. The water towers in Kingman\, AZ that once supported operations of the railroad built by Chinese laborers. The Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, housed in an erstwhile tofu factory donated by Chinese immigrant and grocery magnate Raymond Lee. \n“This whole journey started with my first exhibition at Pearl River Mart\,” says Sammy. “Showing my new exhibition there brings it back\, full circle. I also like the idea of exploring Asian American communities outside of New York City’s Chinatowns. Beyond Manhattan and Flushing. Sometimes it’s just a strip mall or restaurants spread out in an area. But the stories of the people are often the same.” \nJoin us for the opening reception on June 6. Attendance is free but registration is appreciated. \n\nOn view June 6 through Sept. 27 in the Pearl River Mart gallery at 452 Broadway\nFree and open to the public every day from 11 AM to 7 PM\nLearn more in our interview with Sammy\n\nSpecial thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, who provided curation for this exhibition. \nThis exhibition is dedicated to Sammy’s father\, Sammy Yuen\, Sr. (1935 to 2026)\, for his unwavering support of the people he loved. \nAbout the Artist\nSammy Yuen is an artist\, illustrator\, designer\, writer\, and martial arts instructor. He is the recipient of multiple grants\, including awards from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, and the Asian American Arts Alliance. His work has been exhibited at Pearl River Mart\, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, and Google Arts & Culture. He is currently developing a multi-generational picture book inspired by his family’s martial arts legacy. \nWith over 20 years of experience in the publishing industry\, he has created book covers — including more than 35 New York Times bestsellers — as well as marketing and advertising materials\, animated videos\, and social media assets. Across all of his work\, his goal is to tell stories that engage audiences and spark conversation.

SUMMARY:A Stream of Light: Midsummer Afternoon Poetry & Tea
DESCRIPTION:A Stream of Light: Midsummer Afternoon poetry & tea Gathering With Lee Ann Brown @tendtothemoon \, Jiaoyang Li\, and Kevin Ge \nIn 353 CE\, Wang Xizhi gathered with thirty-nine fellow literati at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin\, Kuaiji. Seated beside a winding brook\, they set cups of wine adrift on the current\, composing poems wherever the cups came to rest. \nMore than sixteen centuries later\, on a midsummer afternoon at a HEYTEA Tea Bar on New York’s Upper East Side\, a long table winds like a stream\, with fifteen guests seated along its course. Throughout the afternoon\, the music of xiao (箫)\, performed by Kevin Ge on the vertical bamboo flute\, flows continuously\, interwoven with countless moments of improvisation. Like drifting fire\, the music carries the poetry as it meanders through the space. \n矮纸斜行闲作草，晴窗细乳戏分茶\n“Idle brush on narrow paper\, cursive strokes aslant\, Sunlit pane\, pale foam in play — tea-blossoms conjured in a glance” — Lu You\, The First Clear Day After the Rain \nAt either end of the table\, poets Lee Ann Brown and Jiaoyang Li unfold a ritual of poetry\, translation\, and shared attention. Guests are invited to gather loose tea leaves and scatter them freely across sheets of paper. The scattered leaves are then drawn together into imagined forms—perhaps a tangible object\, perhaps an abstract emotion. Wherever the music pauses\, the drifting fire comes to rest. From that point\, a story begins to grow. \nFree tea will be provided by heytea usa.\nThe event is free but RSVP is needed. \nposter designed by @pennyff_fan

SUMMARY:Susan Lee Brooklyn Event for See You at the Sunset
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate See You at the Sunset\, we're hosting a BK event with Susan Lee in conversation with B.K. Borison and Julie Soto.\n\n\nThis ticketed event includes a paperback copy of See You at the Sunset. There will be a book signing to follow. \nCan’t attend the event? Signed books from Susan Lee\, B.K. Borison\, and Julie Soto will be available for Brooklyn pick-up and shipping here. Must order by August 4. \nAbout See You at the Sunset: \nTwo enemies-to-lovers\, one unforgettable summer escape… \nJia Chung is living the dream…until she gets fired from her job\, yet again. With her mom breathing down her neck to move home\, she needs an escape\, fast. When Mimi\, her beloved grandmother\, invites her to spend the summer in Palm Springs\, Jia jumps at the chance. Staying at Sunset Hills Senior Living Community is exactly where a free spirit like Jia can thrive—among people living their best\, sun-soaked\, fun-filled lives. So what if they’re all octogenarians? \nHenry Shin lives by the rules. It’s what overworked corporate lawyers do. They don’t fly off to Palm Springs to help their grandfathers move into a new home. But Dennis is Henry’s only family. How else can Henry make sure he’s settled and safe? The boisterous Zumba classes\, daily happy hours\, and spicy book clubs were a surprise though. And at the center\, leading the charge\, is a bright\, vivacious stunner named Jia Chung. The same face he’d had a one-night stand with a few months back. And the same woman Henry was forced to terminate at his company the morning after. \nAs carefree days turn into hot\, steamy nights\, the chemistry between Henry and Jia ignites. But when the real world beckons\, should what happens at the Sunset stay at the Sunset? \nAbout Susan Lee: \nSusan Lee is the author of the young adult romantic comedies SEOULMATES and THE NAME DROP. Her work has been featured in national outlets such as Buzzfeed\, NPR\, and Pop Sugar. A graduate of UC San Diego\, Susan built a career as an HR executive at some of today’s hottest companies\, until she realized that writing stories was a more impactful and powerful format to change the world. Now she channels her energy into writing happily ever afters for those historically underrepresented in romance. When she is not writing (or painfully procrastinating from writing)\, Susan can be found down the rabbit holes of her many obsessions including listening to Kpop\, binge watching K-dramas\, collecting sneakers\, building mechanical keyboards\, and obsessing over her two adorable\, but ill-behaved chihuahuas. \nAbout B.K. Borison: \nB.K. Borison is the New York Times bestselling author of cozy\, contemporary romances featuring emotionally vulnerable characters and swoon-worthy settings. When she’s not daydreaming about fictional characters doing fictional things\, she’s at home with her family\, more than likely buying books she doesn’t have room for. \nAbout Julie Soto: \nJULIE SOTO is a #1 New York Times bestselling author\, playwright\, and actress originally from Sacramento\, CA. Her musical Generation Me won the 2017 New York Musical Festival’s Best Musical award\, as well as Best Book for her script. She is a musical theater geek\, fandom nerd\, and the author of many spicy fan fictions. Julie now lives in Fort Bragg\, CA\, with her dog\, Charlie. She is probably drinking coffee as you read this.
