Photo shows one book on left called Asian American and Pacific Islander history, with many folks representing different Asian/Pacific Islander cultures posing together wearing colorful clothing, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance behind them. On the right is a second book called Crown City by Naomi Hirahara. The cove has a blue background, and a tree branch with yellow leaves frames the top of the book cover. Behind and below the tree branch and occupying over half of the book cover is a red tinged inset image of the front of an old building with a grand entrance, perhaps a hotel, with a fronds of a palm tree sitting slightly below the yellow leaves of the tree branch. Below the two books is a flat colorful paper cut out of a cherry blossom with purple, pink, and white, set on a dark green square.
An honor to meet author #Naomi_Hirahara at #BookShop_West_Portal tonight. Two books signed, learned about cherry blossom #kirigami (Thank you, Komo!), and enthralled with the research journey for this 3rd #Japantown_Mystery. Thanks for shining a light on this history!!
