She will read from her newest picture book, Ripples!From beloved picture book creator Katie Yamasaki: an idyllic river trip and a celebration of connections—to family, community, and the natural world.A young girl and her Aunty set sail on their river raft, basking in each other’s company and in the beauty of the world around them—the sun sparkling on the water, the birds soaring over the mountains, the frogs and butterflies that gather in the reeds. Along the way, they pass friends and families engaged in caring for one another—sharing food, tending wounds, celebrating birthdays, and telling stories—who ultimately join them in cleaning litter and trash from the river.Celebrated artist Katie Yamasaki’s newest picture book is a nuanced, lyrical celebration of our connections to each other and the environment. With electric, eye–catching illustrations, Ripples reminds us of the value of care and the ways we can perform it—for each other, and for the world around us.Katie Yamasaki works primarily as a muralist and picture book creator. She has painted more than eighty murals around the world, and her most recent book is Mural Island. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her family. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Foffsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples-tickets-1984495402169 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 18.99, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5 - **lat**: 40.7022472 - **long**: -73.9958582 - **full address**: Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, 334 Furman Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Books Are Magic (https://allevents.in/org/books-are-magic/22525923) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/772e37fc989f395aeb34f8edfa6ffca4f06811ae8ffb5590860b763bbf5eaefa-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd65632-gmir.jpg?v=1773595146 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f0b27c6eb6e974ed4a23cab433ab286b24a23effe062cf0d609ae547a5e7c10a-rimg-w400-h400-dcd65631-gmir.jpg?v=1773595145 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, 334 Furman Street, Brooklyn, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 18.99 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Books Are Magic - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Offsite: Storytime w/ Katie Yamasaki: Ripples ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Offsite: Storytime w/ Katie Yamasaki: Ripples", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/772e37fc989f395aeb34f8edfa6ffca4f06811ae8ffb5590860b763bbf5eaefa-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd65632-gmir.jpg?v=1773595146", "startDate": "2026-04-19T11:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-19T12:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "334 Furman Street", "postalCode": "11201", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.7022472", "longitude": "-73.9958582" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "\"A sunny celebration of nature, friendship, and sustainability.\" —Kirkus Reviews", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-15", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-19T12:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-15", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "18.99", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-15", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169", "price": 0, "name": "Adult RSVP (18+)" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-15", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169", "price": 0, "name": "Child RSVP (under 18)" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-15", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/offsite-storytime-w-katie-yamasaki-ripples/100001984495402169", "price": "18.99", "name": "Reserve a copy of RIPPLES!
