2018 Eisner Award Winners Announced!

The biggest awards in comics, the Eisner Awards, were announced yesterday. Let’s have a look at the books that won in the most important categories – those for young readers.

First up . . .

Best Publication for Early Readers (up to age 8)

Good Night, Planet by Liniers (Toon Books)

This is the latest in a string of strong TOON Book offerings from the Argentinian cartoonist, preceded by The Big Wet Balloon and Written and Drawn by Henrietta.

I like surprises when it comes to these awards – it gives everyone something to look into that they may not have seen. For me that’s the case with The Tea Dragon Society. I haven’t read this one, but I’m looking forward to it now.
