Next up in my great graphic novel catch-up: the first volume of @jefflemire171.bsky.social’s Minor Arcana. It’s features many of the best aspects of his work: strong characters, slow burn reveals, family secrets, and just the right amount of supernatural surprises. So good and compelling!

Minor Arcana, Volume One: The Fool

I am a big fan of Jeff Lemire since I read The Essex County Trilogy almost two decades ago. He is one of the most prolific comics creato...

My great graphic novel catch-up continues with Sunshine by @studiojjk.bsky.social. It’s a book that can make you smile and also shed a tear, showing people with medical conditions that many would typically shy away from. It’s a hopeful, affirming read.

Sunshine

Hey Kiddo is one of my favorite graphic novels, and Sunshine is its follow-up but it stands by itself. This book chronicles a week that K...

“Don’t underestimate the benefits of picture books for older students. Even in upper elementary, they spark great discussions, make writing skills more concrete, and show students what’s possible—often in just a few pages.” —Donna Paul, Elementary Teacher

Next up on my great comics-reading catch-up list: The Cola Pop Creemees: Opening Act by @desmondreed.bsky.social. It’s an extraordinary set of character portraits , where fictional band members come across as real people. It’s a bittersweet, frequently funny book that can make you cringe and cry.
