Peter Sís shares his artwork live, plus a giveaway!

The award-winning author and artist Peter Sís stopped by the Scholastic offices today and sat down to walk us through some of the inspiration behind his forthcoming picture book Robinson (out September 26)!

Peter Sís blends a true story from his childhood with the fictional adventure of Robinson Crusoe to create a magical picture book filled with heart and imagination that readers will want to return to again and again.
