Get a bird’s-eye view into the creativity, imagination, and process of some of the most acclaimed authors working in the hottest and fastest-growing literary genre today: the graphic novel/memoir. Since 2019, sales of graphic novels have jumped over 100%, and they’re an especially infectious way to introduce kids of all ages to the joy of reading and art. Maggie Tokuda-Hall (The Worst Ronin), Pedro Martín (Mexikid), Nidhi Chanani (Shark Princess series), and Jason Shiga (the Adventuregame Series) are all brilliant creators of graphic novels/memoirs for middle-grade readers, and they’re here to share the magic. Moderated by Elaine Tai, librarian and author of Yes Means Yes: A Kid’s Book about Consent, Boundaries, & Listening to Your Body.
