Today: Meet the Author: Lyla Lee at The Reading Bug in San Carlos.
The Reading Bug is thrilled to welcome Lyla Lee! Mindy Kim is a delightful early reader series representing Korean culture
Join us for a meet and greet and signing for all the books in this wonderful series including the newly released final book, Mindy Kim and the Fun Family Vacation!
About the latest book: Mindy is so excited to go back to Korea—not only are she, Dad, and Julie going to the popular tourist spot, Jeju Island, it’s baby Charlie’s first big international trip! Mindy can’t wait for some lazy days on the beach and to see the natural sites unique to the island. But the trip gets off to a rocky start, and Mindy finds herself hoping this first vacation together won’t be memorable for all the wrong reasons!
