Yesterday we had an incredibly special visit from The Arrival’s creator Shaun Tan and his editor Arthur A. Levine and presented our Arrival Collection box. Shaun was gracious and lovely as he listened to the children as they told him about the objects in the box. He willingly answered a myriad of questions and then, most amazingly, offered to draw something for us. It was just wonderful. I’ll have to find a frame for the drawing as soon as possible! Our thanks to Shaun, Arthur, and John Mason of Scholastic for making this possible.
Here are a few photos and some video of the event (thanks to Jenny Kirsch):
Wow! Lucky lucky you. I am so in awe of The Arrival. Thanks for posting the video and sharing the visit with rest of us.
