Hello Everyone,

Hello AACP Newsletter Readers.

Happy Mid-Autumn Moon, Tết Trung Thu, and Chuseok Festival!

Since I’m late again, I’ll keep this editor’s message as short as possible.

Our first article is an interview with mystery author Naomi Hirahara. Over the years, we’ve been very fortunate to have multiple book signings and interviews with Naomi. Now we get to ask her some questions about her latest book “Crown City,” a mystery novel that takes place in Pasadena during the beginning of the 20th Century.

For our second article our board has written some goodbye messages for Clifford Hayashi, one of our long time volunteers and associate board members. If you’ve seen us at an event, there’s a chance that you may have met Clifford before and if you are a Stanford sports fan, you may have even seen him enthusiastically rooting on his favorite team. Please read our messages.

For our book selection we have several children’s books dealing with going back to school (“Surf Soup: First Day of School,” “Grandmother School,” and “New”). We also have Kobi Yamada’s latest book “Others: a Story for All of Us” and Minh Le’s latest “Miles Ahead.” We also have a book about the Korean harvest moon festival (Chuseok) called “Giving Thanks for Halmoni.”

We also have award winning author Erin Entrada Kelly’s latest book “The Second Life of Snap.”

For our general literature, we are featuring mystery novels. Many of these books were recommended by Naomi Hirahara in the interview that we did with her. So have a look at all of our book selection and also Naomi Hirahara’s interview to see why she liked these books.

------------------

That’s all the time we have. 

Thank you Naomi and goodbye Cliff.
