Interactive Author Visit Program

Inspire creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning through interactive author-led experiences that combine storytelling, bilingual reading (English & Japanese), hands-on art activities, and creative exploration for preschool and elementary school age.

Led by children's author and visual artist Zuri Lioness and team, these engaging 1.5 hour workshop sessions are designed for schools, libraries, museums, nonprofits, and community organizations across Japan. Each program encourages children to connect with stories through imagination, illustration, and artistic expression while exploring themes of culture, creativity, and the world around them.

Workshops may include:

• 📚 🌏 Interactive Bilingual story reading (English & Japanese)

• 🎨 Hands-on art activity inspired by the story

• ✏️ Guided drawing and creative storytelling exercises

• 💬 Q&A with the author and artist

• ✍️ Signed book copies for participating students (optional or included in selected packages)

• 📖 Take-home books and educational resources

Each workshop can be tailored to the age group, learning objectives, and event, creating a memorable experience that extends beyond the classroom and encourages children to continue reading, creating, and exploring long after the event has ended.
