Middle school is hard enough without being the...New Kid.

The team got to conduct their first zoom interview with 2020 Coretta Scott King Award and Newbery Medal Winner Jerry Craft as he talks about is inspiration for his book The New Kid and his commitment to bringing quality literature and art to the graphic novel genre.  He even teaches me about not giving up on a drawing.
