Dream On by @shannonhale.bsky.social is a real must have book for schools. Such a relatable story in so many ways and full of examples that any reader will be able to empathise with. I can’t recommend it enough. @mariannedoherty.bsky.social

Enjoyed reading Unfairies, the graphic novel by Huw Aaron. It’s full of reckless humour as you follow the mischievous Pip on his madcap adventures.

Ok, this one is really cute, in a Snoopy kinda way. Imagine you’re in the head of your cat and dog and they’re having adventures. Peanut, Butter, & Crackers by Page Braddock is totally endearing. @nosycrow.bsky.social

Just finished reading Petits Dieux by Mathieu Salvia & Krystel. It’s a graphic novel in French with a massive existential twist and stunning art. #KidsGN📚💬

We couldn’t start this list without Smile, the graphic novel that started the kids GN craze in the US, by @goraina.bsky.social . About growing up with braces. Perfect for middle grade girls.

We’ll start with Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi, the classic fantasy graphic novel series for 8-12. Magnificent art, world building and pacey story.

AMAZING ASH & SUPERHERO AH MA is a comic about a kid and her super-powered grandmother becoming crimefighters, but it also very beautifully and respectfully deals with the topic of dementia. #KidsGN📚💬

🧵Loved The Cartoonists Club by @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social ! It’s a ‘how to’ disguised as fiction for kids. A love letter to making comics. The comics community is one of those where everyone involved is there because they truly love comics. This graphic novel…

I’m thrilled to see 2 comics on this year’s #WorldBookDay lists. A lot of folk don’t know where to start with comic books, so for this week’s #KidsBooksFriday, what kids comic books might folk not already know about but should definitely go and seek out? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidsGN📚💬

This world book day I have a book rec for you. No, it's not a recommendation. It's a COMMAND. You MUST read this book. It's the best book for children I've read in a long time. Genuinely laugh out loud funny, with panels I go back to and laugh about a day later. GET IT NOW! #KidLitUK #WorldBookDay
The cover of Tor Freeman's book, Boss of the Underworld: Shirley vs the green menace. It has a cover quote from Jamie smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey saying "I laughed out loud so much at this book". The cover art shows a girl and a cockroach in a spotlight on a rocky outcrop in a dark place. The girl looks heroic. The cockroach looks worried. Beneath them is a crocodile looking cross. Various characters are peeking out from behind the rock looking quite jolly. One's a frog, one's a one eyed monster, another appears to have two heads. Then there's a horse looking on who's so over everything.
