Cat’s Cradle Book 1: The Golden Twine
I first discovered Kids Can Press through the book Binky Takes Charge. I am loving this graphic novel for kids format they’ve got going with these two titles. I hope they keep it up and give kids a good healthy attitude for the medium. I also like the anime feel of the art without being…
