Two years ago, Raina Telgemeier had an exhibition at The Ohio State University's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. This book is a book exhibit of her career (so far). There are interviews, cover creations shared, how and who shaped her art, and more.
My Thoughts: I LOVED this book. I'm such a fan of Raina Telgemeier's graphic novels. I was so happy when I discovered this book. I loved learning all the "secrets" of her life, her art, and herself.
There's an illustration and comment about writing in her first grade journal. And I loved that because I have a similar memory. I loved seeing her early works and photographs from her life. To be honest, I didn't know much about Raina Telgemeier and now I do.
Cover Thoughts: Fantastic

Library Recommendation: A must have book for your school and public libraries.
* While this is a nonfiction book, I'm adding it to our graphic novel collection, where readers will find her graphic novels.
