How Comics Create Life-Long Readers - interview w.A Dog Called Homeless: celebrating the Schneider F.Sharing books with friends + summer magic.Race Car Love for little (and big) kids: Metropoli.Number One Sam, by Greg Pizzoli (ages 3-6).Race Cars: Read all about them! (ages 4-8).Just look at Maihack's use of color, angles and expression. I especially love Cleo's spunky, fearless character. Maihack pulls in readers with his colorful artwork, charming heroine and plenty of action. Cleo is zapped into the future by a mysterious tablet and learns that an ancient prophecy declares that she is destined to save the galaxy from the tyrannical rule of the evil Xaius Octavian. This fun mash-up between ancient Egypt and outer space features a young Cleopatra who’s more interested in combat training than algebra lessons. Hand this to fans of Amulet and Zita the Spacegirl. One of my students' new favorite graphic novels is Cleopatra in Space: Target Practice. They draw us in, asking the reader to be much more actively involved in creating the story than a movie does. But please, please believe me that these books can really feed a child's imagination. Do your kids love graphic novels? I know many parents tear their hair out worrying that their kids will only read comic books and graphic novels.

The gender of the selector(s) may influence the inclusion of women authors, but not necessarily: a textbookʼs editor may be a woman, yet still fail to include a single woman author. With a very strict selection of nationally representative authors, the female gender is not represented at all. The research showed that the share of women authors depends on the scope of the approach: the fewer authors that are included, the smaller is the likelihood of women authors being represented. However, this share occurred in only one of three competing books, one which offers a considerably larger selection of authors than that required by the curriculum.

Conveniently, she was well employed by the Shady Hollow Herald, the town’s sole newspaper, where she wrote a regular column about town events and goings-on. Gladys had something of a reputation as the town gossip. She was a hummingbird (as her name implied), and her bright green wings were always in motion, going about a hundred miles an hour. Gladys Honeysuckle, always an early riser, was already on the wing, more than halfway into her daily journey toward town. One lovely dawn in late August, the sun was cresting the tops of the distant hills to pour its golden light over the forest. Shady Hollow will be published in January of 2022.
