Local Author Kid’s book signing, this Fri 7pm!

We’re having a book signing for local author Cynthia Jaynes Omololu at Zocalo, Friday at 7pm for her new book!
Paraphrasing from her website, her book, When It’s Six O’clock in San Francisco, is a lyrical picture book that introduces the concept of time zones.

As a boy eats breakfast in San Francisco, another in London plays football, a girl in Lahore eats dinner, and another in Sydney calls for a drink of water in the night. Poetic language and charming vignettes of everyday lives of children around the world simplify the concept of time zone.

Don’t miss it, and bring your kids to meet the author of a real live book!

SLCAN: 1st Thurs: Child Nutrition

SLCAN’s First Thursday event is tonight at 7pm! Local experts Kinkini Banerjee, MS, and Jill Rodgers-Quaye, Ph.D. are presenting. Here’s the writeup from SLCAN:

Children’s early years are critical in shaping their physical, emotional and social well-being. Reinforce lifelong eating habits to help them develop a healthy lifestyle. Toddler or a teen, you can encourage them to eat smarter, move more, learn better and grow up to their full potential.

We’ll review the factors that make your child vulnerable to developing a negative body image and a range of eating and weight related problems and discuss what you can do to help buffer your child from these risk factors.

Guevara-Flanagan & Valadez

SLCAN‘s “First Thursdays” continue with a documentary by San Leandro’s own Dawn Valdez who will be with us this month to show and discuss her award winning documentary, “Going on 13.”

Watch as Ariana, Isha, Rosie, and Esme let go of childhood and fumble—or sprint—toward an uncertain future. This is puberty and for each of these girls of color, it’s a whirlwind of change and new choices.  “Going on 13” enters their world as they negotiate the precious, precarious moments between being a little girl and becoming a young woman.

SLCAN’s First Thursday events are open to all and admission is free. Coffee is complimentary.
