Another fantastic Sunny book! In Sunny Figures it Out, Sunny starts hanging out with a boy from school. They have a lot of fun together, but pressure from others about dating has Sunny feeling some type of way. A great addition to 1 of the most popular graphic novel series in my 5th grade classroom.

@mattholm.bsky.social @scholastic.bsky.social SUNNY FIGURES IT OUT is the ONLY #MGLit book I've finished in July. I simply could NOT face more books where people died, having experienced some recent unexpected losses. Thanks, @yabookscentral.bsky.social yabookscentral.com/sunny-figure...

My students love Jennifer L. Holm's and @mattholm.bsky.social SUNNY series because despite some age appropriate drama, Sunny has FUN. Most #GraphicNovels are so trauma filled. Loved the newest, SUNNY FIGURES IT OUT. (7/1/25)

Holm’s OUTSIDE is a dystopian middle grade novel that young readers will not be able to put down. I was captivated by this group of 13 people (7 adults and 6 kids), navigate life in an underground bunker. What happens when Razzi gets the urge to sneak outside? Hold on tight, things get pretty wild!

I know the world is on fire, but @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I have a book out today!

THE CARTOONISTS CLUB is our love letter to comics, made for that nerdy kid in the corner with the sketchbook. We suggest you visit your local comic shop, indie bookstore, or library to check it out!

In case you want some sweet news today.

I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.

For the entire school.

Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

If I have any advice for making comics it’s this:

Sure your comic might be bad, but no one can make that bad comic in quite the same way you can, so you should still do it.
