Abstract

In this chapter, recent award-winning and award-nominated graphic novels will be analyzed for their content and aesthetics. As both authors serve on book award committees (Notable Books for a Global Society and Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students), they offer unique perspectives on the wealth of graphic novels currently being published. Feedback from various levels of elementary-aged students is shared to offer sample responses. Finally, practical ways for educators to transition students from light and frivolous, fictional graphic novels to those that can immerse them into specific science disciplinary core ideas and historical events are shared.
