SUMMARY:Koinobori Children's Day
DESCRIPTION:Koinobori Children’s Day\nFamilies are invited to visit the Museum of Fine Arts to learn about and celebrate Koinobori\, the Japanese national holiday that translates to “carp streamers.” Koinobori is Japan’s Children’s Day\, traditionally celebrated on May 5th each year\, where communities gather for a festival filled with colorful carp kites. The MFA will honor this holiday in conjunction with the museum’s special exhibition\, Kimono: The Triumph of Japanese Dress\, where similar imagery and symbolism often seen on carp kites can be found. These carp kites (also known as carp windsocks or streamers) are created to represent each family member and celebrate children and their well-being. When a family’s carp kites are hung together on one pole\, they symbolize strength\, determination\, and perseverance—qualities embodied by the carp itself. \n  \n\n\n\n\nKoinobori Children’s Day\nSunday\, May 4\, 2025\n10:00 AM–12:00 PM\nFront Steps of the Museum of Fine Arts\, St. Petersburg\nFREE for everyone! \n  \n

A beautiful story about everyday magic.\n“A loving survey of the queer community in all its diversity. . . . With affirming discussions of togetherness and LGBTQ+ rights\, the book’s final takeaway that ‘being yourself is a blast’ hits just the right note.” —Booklist \nPride’s . . . a day that means “Together\, we are strong!” \nThis joyful picture-book homage to a day of community and inclusion—and to the joys of anticipation—is also a comprehensive history. With bright\, buoyant illustrations and lyrical\, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas\,” it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the night before Pride\, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs\, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day\, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpré Award–winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositions—and of all-inclusive love.

Her work pushes against traditional boundaries: her paintings have resisted not just frames\, but seemingly gravity; her abstract compositions have gone beyond the canvas to embrace the aural. Most recently\, Yankowitz has deepened her interest in technology and new media to create immersive environments that spotlight women-centered histories that have gone unknown for far too long. \nNina Yankowitz was born and raised in New Jersey and lives between New York City and Sag Harbor. Her works are in public collections\, including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco\, San Francisco\, CA; Virginia Museum of History & Culture\, Richmond\, VA; and the Smith College Museum of Art\, Northampton\, MA. Her archival materials are found in the Archives of American Art\, Smithsonian Institution\, Washington\, D.C. Her 2022 solo exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery garnered reviews in Artforum and Art in America\, and in 2024 she was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Hall of Fame.

And he loves sweets\, especially the traditional dessert laddoo. But when Ganesha insists on biting into a super jumbo jawbreaker laddoo\, his tusk breaks off! Ganesha is terribly upset\, but with the help of the wise poet Vyasa\, he learns that what seems broken can actually be quite useful after all. With vibrant\, graphic illustrations\, expressive characters\, and off-beat humor\, this is a wonderfully inventive twist on a classic tale.
