I've been heading up a Graphic Novels Appreciation Club at the elementary school. Lots of Sardine in Outer Space
The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane
It's square. It's fat. There's one panel per page. There's a gigantic fat cat named Jack and a scrawny kid in a striped t-shirt with a big mop of white hair named Simon. They go up into the clouds, make friends, and deliver to the teacher her just deserts.
It's beautiful. Without being, you know, a "beautiful" book. It's "Little Nemo
It's dedicated to Andalucia and Skeezix - if those are Jordan Crane's kids then I married the wrong person. I assume they're Jordan Crane's cats.
I really wish I could con more kids into reading it.
