and Veronica Agarwal. The Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List Selection Committee is made up of GNCRT members with a background in graphic novel selection and their use for children and children's services. Angela Frederick, chair of the BGNC selection
committee said, "The titles and authors featured on this year's list represent a multitude of experiences, story-telling techniques, and art styles. Parents and librarians using this list will find something that will appeal to the young people in their lives."<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For 13 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read-aloud! The global effort, created by the
non-profit <a href="https://www.litworld.org/worldreadaloudday">LitWorld</a> (check out their activity hub!) and sponsored by <a href="https://www.scholastic.com/worldreadaloudday">Scholastic</a>, is celebrated annually in over 173 countries and is all about
bringing people together through the shared connection of reading aloud in all of our communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
