Kids Reading Hour: Nana's New Soul Food with Will Power and Bryant Terry
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for a reading and playful discussion of the children's book Nana's New Soul Food by Will Power, with MoAD's original Chef-in-Residence Bryant Terry who contributed a recipe to the book. A book signing and kid- and adult-friendly food to follow! Copies of Nana's New Soul Food will be available for purchase at MoAD's Bookstore.
Can healthy food be delicious food, too? A young boy helps us discover that yes, it can! Nana's New Soul Food follows this energetic boy on an adventure with his mom to find healthy food in his neighborhood. Motivated by his love for his nana, who has to change the way she eats because of her health, the boy rediscovers his neighborhood while finding tasty vegan soul food.
Will Power is an internationally renowned playwright, performer, lyricist and educator. His plays and performances have been seen in hundreds of theaters and concert halls throughout the world including Lincoln Center (New York), The Public Theater (New York), The Battersea Arts Centre (U.K.), The Sydney Opera House, as well as numerous venues in Asia, Africa, Europe and throughout North America.
Bryant Terry is a multidisciplinary artist, James Beard Award-winning chef, publisher, and author of six books. He draws inspiration from his ancestors, motivating us to strive for a more healthful, just, and sustainable world.
From 2015 to 2022, Terry served as the inaugural Chef-in-Residence at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) in San Francisco. In this role, he curated public programming at the intersection of food, farming, health, activism, art, and culture. As the founder and editor-in-chief of 4 Color Books, an imprint of Ten Speed Press and Penguin Random House, Terry collaborates with visionary chefs, writers, artists, activists, and innovators of color to create visually stunning nonfiction books.
