From the time he could read and started loving books, Author and Illustrator Gene Luen Yang has kept an “awesome shelf” of books. One book on that shelf about graphic novels convinced him that the medium of comics/graphic novels could carry any story he wanted to tell.
To get more kids reading and kids reading more, Author and Illustrator Gene Luen Yang offers his Reading Without Walls Challenge, which helps kids learn more about diverse people and ideas outside their personal experiences.
