There's still time to join us for another author interview tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan 25th at 6 pm on Zoom.
Our guest will be Daniel Kraus, whose numerous works include co-author of The Shape of Water, now a 2017 film, and Trollhunters, a Netflix series adaptation. In 2020, Kraus completed George Romero's unfinished novel, The Living Dead, which Romero began before his 2017 death as a sequel to his popular The Night of the Living Dead. We look forward to hearing about Daniel's writing process, his past and current novels, and an interesting interview!

Hi, it’s Krissy here and welcome back to the Kid

Hi, it’s Krissy here and welcome back to the Kids Graphic Novel Spotlight! Today’s graphic novel I will be spotlighting is “Pea, Bee, & Jay: Stuck Together” by: Brian “Smitty” Smith. In this graphic novel Pea loves to roll around on the farm but when Strawberry dares Pea to roll off the farm to the fence, Pea thinks it will be super easy! However, a big rainstorm rolls Pea into an unlikely area! Pea then meets a bee, named “Bee” who tries to help Pea find his way. Along the way, they run into a bird named Jay who only wants to help Pea and Bee even though Bee thinks birds are the worst. Though in the end, Jay is not bad at all! Can this unlikely trio come together and help Pea find his way home? This graphic novel may be silly but is a great story about friendship! I loved the puns and found the story to be really cute and wholesome. The artwork is fun and reminds me of springtime! This graphic novel is geared towards the ages of 6-10 and is available for checkout at Ida today!
