Thanks to the City of Seneca Museums, Seneca Middle School was pleased to have Cherry Mo, author and illustrator of Home in a Lunchbox, visit and speak to Project Lit and advanced art students not only about the themes of her book but also the amazing illustrations she drew to convey the story in very few words.
