We are supporting cartoonist Raina Telgemeier’s residency at SIS this week, the first author visit of the spring semester.  As the author-illustrator of such seminal graphic novels as Smile, Drama, Guts, and Hosts, Raina is one of the biggest names to have visited an international school in Korea since I’ve been at this, possibly second only to Neal Shusterman (see 15.054 Fried Egg Double Smash Cheeseburger).

IZ, “홍보-ing” his friends to buy some books.

Anticipating high demand for her autograph, the program offered book signing on two occasions: one today for middle school, and another tomorrow for elementary school.  We were asked to offer book sales on both days.

A writing workshop in the Secondary Library – the library was never actively used like this back in my day.
Sampling of Raina’s books.
LEGO set 40698 (Books Are My Passion) (see generally 15.097 Steamed Cabbage with Bok Choy and Bamboo Shoot), customized by me into the SIS Library – Go Tigers!

For dinner, the sauce started as a powdered “cream soup” mix, thickened with milk and seasoned with truffle paste.
