The students at CIS connected virtually with Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr, author and illustrator of Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom. Tickets were drawn and many students received a free Ben Yokoyama book. This visit created a lasting impression on our students, inspiring many of them to pursue creative endeavors and connect with the written word in new ways.
