ALA 2024 BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL FOR CHILDREN OFFICIAL LIST



From the creators of the best-selling REAL PIGEONS series comes TWIG FRIENDS, the hilarious new full-color graphic novel series about four twiggy best friends!



The world is big when you're a twig, but problems, surprises - and even volcanoes - are no match for Red, Ziggy, Noodle and Stump! In three adorably funny comic stories, Red Twig discovers that not all surprises are good when he accidentally ruins his friends' snail zoo, Ziggy and Stump discover a volcano (or is it?), and Noodle tries and fails to find blue paint in nature. And at the end, young readers can learn to make their own twig friend with simple step-by-step instructions!



Featured on the the American Library Association (ALA) 2024 Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List for Early Readers (aged 5-9).



This funny young graphic novel will surprise and delight young readers aged 5-8, and is the perfect series to help branch them out from picture books to chapter books and graphic novels. If you love hilarious friendship series like Pizza and Taco and Narwhal and Jelly, you'll adore TWIG FRIENDS!
