ABOUT THE SCHOOL VISIT
Heralded as "one of the best school
events we've ever had," by librarians, principals, and teachers
alike, Vuthy Kuon's presentation and entitled "The Million
Faces of Humpty" has captivated audiences young and old since
1996.
In Vuthy Kuon's first book, Humpty Dumpty
After the Fall, Humpty never reveals his face. Here he a represents
all of us whom may have "fallen" and gives us all the
opportunity to be a part of his recovery. The kids now must become
illustrators themselves to help Mr. Kuon create Humpty's new face
and ultimately a million faces across the country.
All the excitement and energy from the storytelling
and interactive artwork are accompanied by a heart warming story
about the author's life as a Cambodian refugee coming to America
to overcome insurmountable odds. Kuon's enthusiastic performance
and ability to keep the kids spellbound will inspire the children
and adults to never give up hope and that there is nothing that
they cannot do.
