The Korean Fairy Tale To Debut in L. A.

Maya and the Turtle, a timeless fairy tale from Korea, will make its English debut in Los Angeles on August 18, 2012.

(Sharewellnewswire.com) August 16, 2012 - Illustrator and co-author Soma Han and co-author John Stickler will sign and “chop” copies of the new children’s book from Tuttle Publishing at two venues in Koreatown. From 1-3 p.m. they will appear at The Korean Book Center, downstairs in the Koreatown Plaza at 928 So. Western Avenue (213-738-9140).
At 4 p.m. they will introduce the story with a reading at the Pio Pico Koreatown Library, 694 So. Oxford Avenue (213-368-7642).


Fine artist Soma Han previously illustrated Tigers, Frogs and Rice Cakes, a collection of Korean proverbs for children, and Land of Morning Calm: Korean Culture Then and Now, both from Shen’s Books. John Stickler, formerly with CBS News in Seoul, collaborated with her on this inspiring legend of filial piety. The book is dedicated to Soma’s mother who heard the tale at her mother’s knee and passed it on to Soma when she was a little girl.
