About this event

East City Bookshop welcomes Harmony Becker with her new book *Himawari
House* in conversation with Sloane Leong.

*About **Himawari House*

A young adult graphic novel about three foreign exchange students and the
pleasures, and difficulties, of adjusting to living in Japan.

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.

George Takei's graphic memoir *They Called Us Enemy*. She currently lives
