Raina will discuss her inspiration, the writing and drawing process, and host two hands-on workshops for kids interested in making comics and learning from an acclaimed cartoonist.

Smile was also named a 2011 ALA Children's Notable Book, and was named a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book.
She is also the adapter and illustrator of the Baby-sitter's Club graphic novel series, and the co-author of X-Men: Misfits.
