DESCRIPTION: Slowing Down with Amy Tan.\nhttps://champaign.libnet.info/eve
 nt/12050163
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>National Humanities Medal winner and bests
 elling author of The Joy Luck Club\, Amy Tan joins us to share on her body
  of work and reflect on the wonder of slowing down and savoring the quiet 
 moments. Her connection to nature is captured in her latest\, The Backyard
  Bird Chronicles\, a collection of sketches and essays which debuted at #1
  on both the New York Times and the Indie bestseller list.</p>\n<p>Born in
  the U.S. to immigrant parents from China\, Tan&rsquo\;s first bestselling
  novel\, The Joy Luck Club\, offered a look at the immigration experience 
 from the perspective of mothers and daughters. Other New York Times best-s
 ellers followed\, including The Kitchen God&rsquo\;s Wife\, The Hundred Se
 cret Senses\, The Bonesetter&rsquo\;s Daughter\, Saving Fish from Drowning
 \, and The Valley of Amazement. Tan is also the author of two children&rsq
 uo\;s books\, a memoir\, and other works. In keeping with her love of scie
 nce and childhood love of doodling\, she recently took up nature journal s
 ketching. When she found herself overwhelmed by our increasingly divisive 
 culture\, she turned to nature and the world of bird life outside her own 
 window.</p>\n<p><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_55igM
