LTL Episode 31: Talking About Graphic Novels with Author and Illustrator Stephen Shaskan

Graphic novels are incredibly popular with many kids today. So, I really wanted to talk about this genre with someone who writes and illustrates graphic novels. And, luckily Stephen Shaskan, who is the author and illustrator of the Pizza and Taco book series is on today’s podcast to talk about graphic novels as well as his work. This episode was such a treat! Stephen shares about his work and how he got the idea for the Pizza and Taco series – this is one of my favorite parts of our conversation! Comic books were very important part of Stephen’s reading and he talks about how finding books that kids love and want to read is a real joy.  

We begin the episode by talking about graphic novels and what this genre includes. He also talks about the work he is doing on creating videos to go along with his books – check out Pizza and Taco on YouTube – lots of fun content! Please give this episode a listen! I also welcome ratings and reviews.
