My mom has a new favorite phrase.  I hear her say it at least once every time I talk to her.  When we took a road trip to see family in Illinois this August, I heard it a lot.  A LOT!  What is this favorite phrase?  It's a thing.

Guess what?  Graphic novels?  It's a thing.  Actually, it's THE thing right now.  And, while kids love them, many adults are still trying to figure them out.  I'm here to help.  Not because I'm some graphic novel expert . . . because I'm not.  I'm trying to figure them out, too!  But the Assocation for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, has issued their 2019 Graphic Novel Lists.  There are three printable lists: Gr K-2, Gr 2-5, and Gr 6-8.  Use them to help your kids find books at the library.  Or use them to find the perfect surprise for your graphic novel reader this holiday season.
