Thank you to everyone who came out last night to discuss two stellar graphic novels: Raina Telgemeier's Smile and Dave Roman's Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity. I am a better teacher-librarian because of the authors, illustrators, librarians teachers, professors, parents, aunts, and uncles who discuss children's literature in a public place. Thank you!
Are you booktalking Smile? Make sure you share Raina's book trailer.
"Since publication, Smile has been wildly popular with young readers. John Schumacher, librarian at Brook Forest Elementary School, witnessed a fifth grader put the book in a friend's hand, guide her to the circulation desk, and say, "You must check this out now and tell me your thoughts in the morning.!" -Anita Silvey
