CHINATOWN — Artist and author Rich Lo will discuss his latest book, "Father's Chinese Opera," at the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago.
The family-focused event takes place 2 p.m. Saturday at the museum, 238 W. 23rd St. It's free to attend.
Told with just a handful of words and Lo's vivid watercolor art work, Lo's 40-page book is a story about a boy who observes, then aims to become, an acrobat in a fanciful Chinese opera.
In a previous interview with DNAinfo Chicago, Lo said the lessons in the book — hard work, perseverance and humility — should resonate with a wide audience, but he's hoping the book gets picked up by Chinese-American kids across the nation.
"I want it to be a tool, a guide to teach Chinese-Americans to always follow their dreams. Chinese-Americans are pragmatic. We're taught to push aside the American Dream," he said.
Space is limited. Reserve a seat by calling 312-949-1000 or emailing info@cccamuseum.org
