A long time ago, Japanese children would rush over when the Kamishibai man clacked his wooden blocks to call them. Eager for his stories and sweets, they gathered around his bicycle with the wooden stage on it. So come together and let the Kamishibai man show you the wonders of paper theater. Celebrate with him the joyful rediscovery of the connection between storyteller and audience. The multiple award-winning author and illustrator Allen Say was 16 years old when he moved from Japan to California in the 1950s. Only decades later does he bring to life the memories of his childhood and youth in Japan through his picture books for children in the Western world.
