Bitty Bao announced the release of “Boba Emotions,” a new bilingual children’s book to inspire conversations about mental health and emotions between caregivers and young children. To ensure that the book’s content aligned with best practices in mental health, Bitty Bao engaged Pacific Clinics‘ Asian Pacific Family Center (APFC).

Pacific Clinics hosted a classical music concert featuring talented young musician siblings Sarah Kave and Joshua Kave, and guest performer Albert Zhang. Chief Executive Officer Jim Balla kicked off the event with opening remarks explaining that contributions will support the purchase of sensory kits for young children who feel anxious during the COVID-19 pandemic. The musicians performed works by well-known composers such as Bach, Schubert and Mendelssohn.
