The Picks:

How To Draw A Secret GN – Allida releases an autobiographical story of a young Taiwanese American artist struggling to find her voice to save what matters most. Twelve-year-old Cindy loves drawing flawless images, but an art contest prompt has her stumped: “What family means to me.” With her dad having moved back to Taiwan four years ago, Cindy must come up with a plan that draws the perfect picture while still keeping her parents’ separation a secret from everyone at school. But more devastating secrets are revealed on an unexpected trip to Taipei, and suddenly, everything from Cindy’s art to her family is falling apart. Now she must figure out how to draw from the heart and reveal the truth, messy lines and all. Fans of Raina Telgemeier’s Sisters and Jen Wang’s Stargazing will enjoy this new volume.

Cassi And The House Of Memories GN – Random House Graphic releases a graphic novel that takes one girl through a dazzling journey of memories past. Cassi loves spending time with her grandfather. He has brought her endless joy with his games, songs, and stories. But things seem different on this visit, as Grandpa seems to be losing track of things, from the stories they’re sharing to who Cassi herself is. So when he goes missing after wandering off from his own backyard, Cassi knows she has to figure out where he’s gone. Her search leads her to a world filled with memories, but none of them her own. Leaping from one memory to the next, she gets closer to finding her grandfather, but she must make sure he doesn’t slip away forever. This volume is perfect for fans of Pashmina and Anya’s Ghost.
