10 Things That Are Totally Worth Waiting For: An EXCLUSIVE Cookie Chronicles Minicomic
Cracking open a fortune cookie after scarfing down some tasty Chinese takeout is pretty much the best part of the meal. Chowing down on that crispy cookie while finding our fortunes always leaves us wondering why more meals don’t end with a sweet treat and words of wisdom.
In Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom, the first book in the new The Cookie Chronicles series, Ben goes out with his aunt to a Chinese restaurant and has his first-ever fortune cookie. The experience is life-changing for Ben – actually, more specifically – he thinks it might be life-ending! His fortune reads “LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST”, which as a super literal-minded kid, leaves him both alarmed and inspired. He immediately starts crafting a bucket list of all his lifelong dreams and things he’d like to accomplish on his last day on Earth. As Ben starts crossing things off the list, he starts taking bold risks, trying new things, and inspiring his family to do the same! It’s hilarious, heartwarming, and filled with unique illustrations showcasing Ben’s LOL-worthy misadventures.
The second book, Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Endless Waiting, was also just released, and it’s just as fun as the first! In this book, Ben’s fortune reads “GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT,” so he believes that he can get anything he wants by pressing pause on his life and responsibilities and just…waiting. Will Ben’s patience pay off? You’ll have to read it to find out – but we’ve got a special treat for you in the meantime!
