On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause to remember the great leader who dedicated his life to fighting injustice. May we never forget him and the timeless contributions he left to the world—of courage, equity, and above all, love.

If you're not sure where to start when investing in graphic novels then this is the list for you. All of these titles are fantastic and should be in schools, however budgets don't always allow for this. This list should help to guide you where your money will be best spent.

Not this year, but not much longer of a wait because:
- the whole 230+ pg book is inked
- I have only ~50 pages left to color.
I will announce a release date once I have one. Can’t wait to share it with everyone! It’s a story straight from my heart and soul. 💖
