On Saturday, Jan. 23, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. PST, join the director and cast of the documentary “The Claudia Kishi Club” in a discussion of the legacy of Claudia Kishi, the iconic Japanese American character from the hit “Baby-Sitters Club” book series.
A TV series based on “The Baby-Sitters Club” premiered on Netflix last year and has been renewed for a second season. Momona Tamada plays Claudia. A “Baby-Sitters Club” series was produced by HBO in 1990 with Jeni F. Winslow as Claudia.
