Before the animals take the concert stage, come explore a world of bilingual books and one-of-a-kind toys with Irene Kang, the Austin mom and author behind Spark Collection!
Irene created Spark Collection to bring more Asian stories, languages, and characters into children’s hands, and she’s brought her whole setup to share with you. Pet Mr. Kimchi, the world’s first kimchi plush. Test your skills at their adorable claw machine. Try to stack all 12 Chinese Zodiac Animals in the Wooden Figures game (trickier than it looks)!
You might even learn to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Happy Birthday in Mandarin before the show begins.
Spark Collection’s bilingual books come in Chinese, Korean, and Hindi editions and are loved by families around the world, from Austin to Australia, Hong Kong to New Zealand. Pick up a copy and get it signed by Irene herself for a truly special keepsake.
