Books

Graphic novels, and manga in particular, have exploded in popularity with students, a recent SLJ survey revealed. As teens and younger readers eagerly devour graphic novels, publishers are responding with more books in graphic format to satisfy readers of all genres.

These stories share a variety of Ramadan and Eid experiences, from fasting for the first time to celebrating in a home. Hand them to young readers leading up to the holy month and all year long.

This month showcases excellent titles in poetry, including a book illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Doug Salati, as well as several graphic novels, including a new one from Raina Telgemeier.
