She woke before dawn for morning lessons, went straight to group practice after school, and spent weekends competing in glitter and tights. It was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But as Tillie’s interests evolve, from her growing passion for art to a first love realized with a new girlfriend, she begins to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fits in. Poignant and captivating, this powerful graphic memoir captures what it’s like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know.

O lo haría si no fuera por algunos acontecimientos afortunados y el afecto de los demás. Philippe puede inventarse entonces una nueva profesión, conocer a otras personas, descubrir nuevos paisajes que alimentarán su for- midable apetito por la vida. El camino es accidentado, pero a lo lar- go del mismo puede emborracharse con palabras, soñar con vinos, cultivar la amistad y volver a encontrar el amor: rehacer su vida.

  • USING GRAPHIC NOVELS with CHILDREN and TEENS a Guide for Teachers and Librarians Using Graphic Novels with Children and Teens a Guide for Teachers and Librarians
    USING GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians USING Graphic NOVELS with CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians Graphic NOVELS ARE hot! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults­­ literature that powerfully motivates kids to read. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your library collection, your curriculum, and your classroom? Want to know more? If so, this guide is for you. Art © 2010 Jeff Smith 2 What are graphic novels? In this context, the word “graphic” does not mean “adult” or “explicit.” Graphic novels are books written and illustrated in the style of a comic book. The term graphic novel was first popularized by Will Eisner to distinguish his book A Contract with God (1978) from collections of newspaper comic strips. He described graphic novels as consisting of “sequential art”—a series of illustrations which, when viewed in order, tell a story. Although today’s graphic novels are a recent phenomenon, this basic way of storytelling has been used in various forms for centuries—early cave drawings, hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries like the famous Bayeux Tapestry can be thought of as stories told in pictures. The term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and narrative development.

  • The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni
    http://nyti.ms/1vbRp0c AWARDS SEASON Embracing a Fantasy From Their Pixar Past ‘The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni By CHARLES SOLOMON JAN. 29, 2015 This year’s nominees for the Oscar for animated short film cover a variety of subjects and styles. But the film that has generated the most excitement among professional animators is “The Dam Keeper,” a painterly short by Daisuke Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo, former Pixar art directors who have started their own studio. “There is a sameness to much animation, so when a film like ‘Dam Keeper’ comes along, it reminds us that the boundaries of animation have barely been explored,” said Don Hahn, producer of “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Told entirely in mime, “The Dam Keeper” focuses on the withdrawn, dutiful Pig, who maintains a giant windmill that keeps toxic fumes away from his village. Pig is mocked and bullied at school until the impish Fox, who has a gift for caricature, arrives, and the two become fast friends. A misunderstanding leads to a crisis that ultimately reaffirms their friendship and the value of hard work. “The Dam Keeper” has been screened at more than 75 festivals and won numerous honors, including prizes from the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Anima Mundi in Brazil and the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. The film begins a theatrical run on Jan. 30 as part of a program of Oscar-nominated shorts. Although Mr. Tsutsumi and Mr. Kondo are highly respected for their work as art directors on the hit Pixar features “Toy Story 3” and “Monsters University,” “The Dam Keeper” is their first film as writer-directors.
