Testimonials“The students loved the assembly!It was so great to see the students leaving with a greater understanding of cartooning.”— Amy Romano, school principal“A great presentation. Different and engaging. A great example to all the graphic novel naysayers that people can be moved by them as they can be by any book. Validating for us all and for kids especially.
