Jarrett J. Krosoczka on How Graphic Novels Can Engage Reluctant Readers
“…parents will often thank me for turning their kids onto reading. It’s high praise, but praise that I cannot take full credit for. Sure, I wrote all of the words and drew all of the pictures, and young readers found my fictional world engaging, but that is only a part of the equation. It’s the parents themselves who should be patting themselves on the back–they’re the ones who put my graphic novels into their children’s hands. They are the ones who fully supported their child’s reading life by finding the book that would fit their child’s needs.”
