It’s a time machine you can read!
Chaucer’s Books is very excited to host Santa Barbara author, James Buckley, Jr., and local Comicraft Letterer, John Roshell, for a wildly graphic afternoon as they launch their newest series for kids, entitled Show Me History!
Children will learn about amazing historical narratives in graphic novel format in this brand new series. With contributions from renowned artists, illustrators, and authors that have worked with DC, Marvel, and the like, this new series is sure to engage. Each title includes full-color illustrations, glossary of terms, timeline of events, further reading materials. The first four titles celebrate the lives of Amelia Earhart, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King. Buckley and Roshell will be sharing and signing copies, and will have signed book plates from the second author, Mark Shulman.
While the series is just launching, it is already a winner of the 2019 National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA).
“The Show Me History series is a wonderful way to introduce iconic heroes and the history of their time to young readers. Each biography is presented in graphic format, offering a great mix of visual interest and fascinating facts. Kids will definitely be engaged.”—NAPPA Awards Director Elena Epstein
