Stop what you are doing and watch Jerry Craft on The Daily Show
We have some Video of the Year material right here. Newbery Medalist Jerry Craft appeared on The Daily Show and knocked it out of the park. He addresses the fools who think “graphic novels” are novels with graphic content (facepalm), discusses the recent explosion of book banning, and shares his story of going from a non-reader to an award-winning author.
It’s fantastic. Share it with your friends.
