pickJust to say I will read more by Wertz. This is very “Indie”. Maybe sometimes too indie for my tastes, but with sufficient reading time without the world knocking let me relax in the Wertz World.

pickIsaac and Marco are best pals, but 6th grade brings a lot of changes; in their families, their grades, and trying out for sports 🏀. MG novel that is funny and sad, but hopeful all at the same time.

pickPersistence, basketball, and an inspiring friendship make for a wonderfulnovel.
pickThis is a fun MG story about best friends who decide that middle school is going to be different. This is especially true for Marco who is short & studious, not the athletic powerhouse his father would like him to be. For any kid who‘s ever felt they aren‘t good enough, Cisneros writes a story inspired by his own academic & athletic trouble to tell them they are more than good enough. A positive, hopeful, funny story. On sale 3/15/22.
Elizabeth! Thank you so much for this! I LOVE it! It is completely different than any plant I‘ve had or seen this was a perfect gift my friend!

pickJim Terry‘s father was white & his mother Indigenous (Ho-Chunk). Both parents struggled with alcoholism. This moving memoir documents the artist‘s turbulent childhood & sense of alienation, leading to his own addiction to alcohol. He takes us with him to rock bottom, then to sobriety. Attending the protest at Standing Rock helped bring him home to himself. His brushwork art & rich blacks throughout is reminiscent of Eisner‘s. #comics #Indigenous
“Have coffee & feed them & let them know we are doing this for their children too.”
The peaceful approach to dealing with pipeline company infiltrators at Standing Rock is as inspirational to me as it was to the author of this memoir.
When I quit drinking I was worried about inspiration—losing that “high white note”—the perfect buzz level that seemed to open the mind and the heart. I was terrified of losing that magic.
What I discovered in sobriety was that the magic was utter fantasy. The inspiration came from hard work and discipline, and I‘d been eager for structure and a work ethic.
My heroes changed, my work improved, my life changed.
I was drawing comics!
[Will Eisner] is showing me there are no limits to what you can do in graphic storytelling.
