Kids love graphic novels, but not all adults are sold on them. I understand their nervousness, but really, they have nothing to fear. Graphic novels are amazing, and in this conversation with author/illustrator Jarrett Lerner, the Word Nerd Amanda Zieba makes a strong case for them. Listen in as the two creators discuss the value and wealth to be found in a graphic novel reading experience and why you should let your kids read as many of them as they want.
At the end of the video several pieces of research are listed to strengthen the case as well. Hopefully, when all is said and done, you are thoroughly convinced that GRAPHIC NOVELS ARE REAL READING and you will let your kids read as many of them as they want.
