Are you ready to dive into the magical world of comic creation? In this exciting episode of Reading with Your Kids, we explore two incredible books that will inspire children to unleash their creativity and tell their own unique stories. First up, Ellen Forney joins host Jed Doherty to talk about "The Adventures of You: How to Write, Draw, and Star in Your Own Comics." If you think you need to be a professional artist to create comics, think again! Forney breaks down the myth that you need perfect drawing skills to tell a compelling story. Her book is a game-changer for kids who want to explore comic creation, offering fun exercises and practical tips that make storytelling accessible to everyone. But wait, there's more! Morenike Oyenusi brings her vibrant picture book "The Primary Colors" to the conversation, exploring themes of community, acceptance, and understanding through a unique color-based narrative. The book tackles important social issues like welcoming new families and overcoming prejudice, all while engaging young readers with its imaginative storytelling. Both authors share fascinating insights into their creative processes, revealing how inspiration can come from unexpected places. Whether it's a divine vision or a sudden spark of imagination, these creators show that storytelling is about passion, creativity, and connecting with readers. Key takeaways for parents and kids:

Comics are a legitimate form of literature

You don't need to be a professional artist to tell a great story

Creativity comes in many forms

Books can teach important life lessons about acceptance and community

Whether your child dreams of becoming a comic artist or simply loves reading, this episode offers something for everyone. It's a celebration of imagination, storytelling, and the incredible power of books to inspire and educate. So grab a pencil, some paper, and get ready to create your own comic adventure!
