<p>East City Bookshop welcomes Harmony Becker with her new book <em>Himawari House</em> in conversation with Sloane Leong.</p><p><strong>About </strong><em><strong>Himawari House</strong></em></p><p>A
young adult graphic novel about three foreign exchange students and the
pleasures, and difficulties, of adjusting to living in Japan.</p><p>Living
in a new country is no walk in the park—Nao, Hyejung, and Tina can all
attest to that. The three of them became fast friends through living
together in the Himawari House in Tokyo and attending the same Japanese
cram school. Nao came to Japan to reconnect with her Japanese heritage,
while Hyejung and Tina came to find freedom and their own paths. Though
each of them has her own motivations and challenges, they all deal with
language barriers, being a fish out of water, self discovery, love, and
family.</p><p><strong>About Harmony Becker</strong></p><p>Harmony Becker was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is the illustrator of George Takei's graphic memoir <em>They Called Us Enemy</em>. She currently lives in Mexico City.</p><p><strong>About Sloane Leong</strong></p><p>Sloane
Leong is a self-taught cartoonist, artist and writer of Hawaiian,
Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Native American, and European ancestries. Her
work aims to connect personally with individuals through storytelling
and to cultivate a kinder, more understanding future. She has been

various work for companies like Image Comics, First Second, Top Cow,
