Young students in Carle Place got a close-up look at children’s books.
During the week of May 15, Rushmore Avenue School students received a special visit from acclaimed author and illustrator Matthew Holm, best known for co-creating the “Babymouse,” “Squish” and “Sunny Side Up” graphic novel series alongside his sister,
Jennifer L. Holm.
All students were invited to attend a fun and engaging assembly where Holm shared insights into his creative process, discussed his books and answered questions. In addition, a select group of students, chosen through a lottery, had the unique opportunity to enjoy a lunchtime meet-and-greet with the author.
