 e story. This event is appropriate for kids of all ages.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK
 :\nMinoru Yamasaki described the feeling he sought to create in his buildi
 ngs as serenity\, surprise\, and delight. Here Katie Yamasaki charts his l
 ife and work: his childhood in Seattle’s Japanese immigrant community\, 
 paying his way through college working in Alaska’s notorious salmon cann
 eries\, his success in architectural school\, and the transformative struc
 tures he imagined and built. A Japanese American man who faced brutal anti
 -Asian racism in post-World War II America and an outsider to the architec
 tural establishment\, he nonetheless left his mark on the world\, from the
  American Midwest to New York City\, Asia\, and the Middle East. This stri
 king picture book renders one artist’s work through the eyes of another\
 , and tells a story of a man whose vision\, hard work\, and humanity led h
 im to the pinnacle of his field.\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nKatie Yamasaki work
 s primarily as a muralist and picture book creator. She has painted more t
 han 80 murals around the world\, and her most recent book is Dad Bakes. Sh
 e lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their daughter.
