Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud team up for a one-of-a-kind friendship story about creativity and self-expression that blends how-to and comics magic!
Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!
Four kids, each representing types of people and artists—the one with ideas, the one who can draw, the one who only sees their mistakes, and the one who likes to try new things—form the titular club. And we get an easy to understand how-to for making comics (and friends). Fun and accessible lessons with McCloud’s usual meta references to the genre.
