In the early reader and middle-grade world, there are so many graphic novels to dive into and creators themselves are always exploring different trends and genres. From epic heroes to unicorns to cowgirls, these creators discuss their processes in navigating what’s new, what’s popular, and what’s yet to be discovered.
MODERATOR
PANELISTS
The topic of book banning has risen as more and more books are taken off the shelves, especially graphic novels. These creators are here to talk about graphic novels and literacy, what we can do about censorship in our communities, and most importantly, how to keep bans off our books!
