Author and adoptive mom Ann Martin Bowler, known to the Korean adoption community for her book All About Korea will be in the DC area over the weekend of December 3-4. For our last program of 2011, Korean Focus is thrilled to present Ann's popular workshop to DC-area families.

During Annie's lively, interactive All About Korea workshop, kids and families will learn about Korea's daring favorite games and unique holiday traditions, make a Korean folk craft together, and participate in the reading of a silly yet thoughtful Korean tale. Older kids will be able to make the craft on their own and toddlers and pre-schoolers can work with Mom and Dad.  Everyone's welcome at this fun-filled workshop!
 

California-born author, Ann Martin Bowler, has written many award winning children's books on multicultural and environmental themes. An educator for many years before becoming a writer, Annie loves to create fun, engaging books and then share them with children of all ages. Annie's two youngest children Sarah and Jacob, ages 20 and 14, were adopted from Korea. Her book All About Korea, Stories, Songs, Crafts and More was a family project which helped her family to develop authentic connections within the Korean culture.
