VIDEO: Book recommendations for the holidays
Watch Raina Telgemeier and I in our winter sweaters as we join Jerzy Drozd and librarian superstar, Sharon Iverson (AADL) for a festive talk about fantastic graphic novels & comic books to give as gifts for the holidays. Lots of readers advisors and a lightning round! Bonus discussion about why I love snowmen, a video montage at the end, and a cameo by our Christmas tree.
