After participating in the One Book One School event with The Nest For Celeste, students were excited to welcome Henry Cole as he spent the day at Olive! He wowed students with his artistic abilities and sense of humor during two large group assemblies in the Commons. He told stories about how he grew up loving to draw, and how he credits his mother and teachers for encouraging him to become an artist and author. An important idea that Henry shared with the students was to be persistent and work on a story or piece of art until it becomes the best it could be. This involves lots of revisions and edits.
Henry visited several classes for question and answer sessions. Students were entertained by his many stories and jokes. During the lunch hour, Henry joined the fourth and fifth grade Chat and Chew book group in the library with Mrs. Brown. There, he participated in a game, signed books, and took photos with the students.
