Hi Arlene -
That's pretty advanced reading for a 2nd grader. I've got a few to add to
the list, but definitely take a look at them first - I'm quite careful about
where I shelve the graphic novels in my library. Rabbi Harvey and Barry
Deutsch are fine in the YA section, but so many of them are visually or
contextually "graphic" that I keep them in an open space in the adult book
area, where I can keep an eye on who's looking...
Here are some ideas:
LILY RENEE; ESCAPE ARTIST by Trina Robbins
MENDEL'S DAUGHTER; A MEMOIR by Martin Lemelman
ANNE FRANK: THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE AUTORIZED GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY
by Sid Jacobson
JEWS IN AMERICA: A CARTOON HISTORY by David Gantz
The first one should be fun for the student. MENDEL'S DAUGHTER is a
re-telling of a Holocaust story - including a lot of iconography -- and the
next two are good to have on hand, but probably not right for this student.
I've really loaded up on the Anne Frank books that are appropriate for
younger ages. So many girls eagerly check out the Diary and are discouraged
by the difficulty and density, and my fear is that they'll never pick it up
again. I'm very pleased to be able to steer them to alternative "Anne"
books.
Good luck, Arlene - let's hope for more graphic novels. (Rabbi Harvey is a
godsend for struggling readers!)

Subject: [ha-Safran] Graphic novels
Hello!
I was approached by a second grader in the Hebrew School about graphic
novels for her age. She seems particularly advanced and has read the Barry
Deutsch books and loved them. Are there any other graphic novels/books with
Jewish content that I can purchase? I have the Rabbi Harvey books also.
Thanks
Arlene
