Ever wonder how cartoonists and artists come up with their creations? If you're Raina Telgemeier, you go back to your childhood and those cringe-y teen years. Full of early cartoons and sketches, including interviews with the author, this interesting AND  ENTERTAINING  look at an artist's thought process is a must for future cartoonists and graphic artists; really, any creatives will gain knowledge on how to "prime the pump."

Pages are devoted to each of Telgemeier's graphic novels (Smile, her HUGE breakout hit) and later Sisters and Guts.  

An excellent gift for wannabe artists, today's doodlers and dreamers. Today's doodlers are tomorrow's graphic stars! 

Highly, highly recommended for art students, cartoonists cosplay groups, really, anyone grades 4 and up.
