Sinossi

A jokester worm finds out that friendship means more than just play in this candy-colored young graphic novel by an Eisner-nominated comics artist.Wiggler loves a good laugh! Thanks to a joke book that she took out from the library, her day is all fun and games. Everyone in town enjoys her new jokes . . . until she accidentally hits a nerve and makes her friend Roro angry. But why? Did she forget part of the joke? Did she tell the punchline wrong? What could possibly be the problem? After a nudge from a four-legged friend, Wiggler realizes that jokes aren't always helpful, especially when someone is sad or stressed. Wiggler tracks down Roro to make things right—and Roro comes up with an excellent joke of his own.I Like to Read Comics® are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans.

Chernobyl, Life, and Other Disasters

Strong-willed Genya sets her mind to attending art school in 1980s Ukraine, amidst the turmoil of Soviet control, the Cold War, and the unfolding Chernobyl nuclear disaster.Genya-the nickname of the book's author and story's protagonist, Yevgenia-knows from age five that she wants to be an artist. When she turns eleven, she'll apply to the same prestigious art school that her mother attended. But making the cut won't be easy, especially with the school's open-secret rule that no more than 1% of the student body can be Jewish. The years before Genya's eleventh birthday bring plenty to distract her. Nothing in Soviet Ukraine is quite as it seems; adults mock the government, but only in private; and her classmates are terrified of American bomb strikes. And that's all before April 26, 1986, when Genya's police officer neighbor gets called to an emergency in a town she's never heard of: Chernobyl. A graphic memoir account of creator Yevgenia Nayberg's childhood, Chernobyl, Life, and Other Disasters is both deeply personal and a glimpse into broader Soviet intelligentsia experiences. Young readers curious about life elsewhere, particularly in the face of disaster, will find ample details to devour, while those dreaming of a creative life will take inspiration from Genya's perseverance. Salient and yet often slyly funny, this is a must-read for any graphic memoir fan.
