Mr. Chow hates mornings and so does his store: The shopping carts are sluggish, the front door yawns, and the pomelos roll down the aisle in a sleepy daze.When disaster strikes, Mr. Chow seeks advice from other workers and the similarly buoyant, anthropromophic buildings they work in. And soon, he discovers that his store doesn't have to be a morning market...it can be a night market!Accompanied by spellbinding art from Yu Ting Cheng, debut author Emily Sun Li crafts a whimsical myth about how the very first Taiwanese night market was created.Emily Sun Li (she/her) is a Chinese American author who spent two years studying Mandarin Chinese in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, as a Fulbright scholar. Afterward, she received an MA in children's literature and an MFA in writing for children at Simmons University. Her experiences have inspired her to write her debut picture book, Mr. Chow's Night Market. When she’s not writing, she’s probably procrasti-cleaning, drinking milk tea, or traveling.

As a child, her adventures began at her great-grandfather’s private zoo, with three crocodiles, two peacocks, and many dogs. Yu earned an MFA in computer art from the School of Visual Art in New York and interned at Bill Plymptom Studios as an animation coloring artist. She hopes to express happiness through her illustrations. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-storytime-w-emily-sun-li-and-yu-ting-cheng-mr-chows-night-market/100001983638735857 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Books Are Magic Montague - **lat**: 40.6945995 - **long**: -73.994642 - **full address**: Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/433d082ed778b0ca4c5d52935b373d29ab7fdcaaebc4ee57bcc5822e920dcbb0-rimg-w1200-h600-dc0180b2-gmir.jpg?v=1771746609 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market being held? - **A:** In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market takes place on Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 11:30 am at Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market? - **A:** In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market is organized by Books Are Magic. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "In-Store: Storytime w/Emily Sun Li & Yu Ting Cheng: Mr. Chow's Night Market", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/433d082ed778b0ca4c5d52935b373d29ab7fdcaaebc4ee57bcc5822e920dcbb0-rimg-w1200-h600-dc0180b2-gmir.jpg?v=1771746609", "startDate": "2026-04-18T11:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-18T11:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-storytime-w-emily-sun-li-and-yu-ting-cheng-mr-chows-night-market/100001983638735857", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Books Are Magic Montague", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "122 Montague Street", "postalCode": "11201", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.6945995", "longitude": "-73.994642" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "\"A visual delight—and vindication for night owls.\" —Kirkus Reviews", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-02-22", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-18T11:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-02-22", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-storytime-w-emily-sun-li-and-yu-ting-cheng-mr-chows-night-market/100001983638735857" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-02-22", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-02-22", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-storytime-w-emily-sun-li-and-yu-ting-cheng-mr-chows-night-market/100001983638735857", "price": 0, "name": "Free RSVP" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Books Are Magic", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/books-are-magic/22525923", "description": "Books Are Magic opened on May 1, 2017, in Cobble Hill.
