Misako Rocks is back!!! Manga artist Misako joins Femme On and Comics in Motion to tell us all about her new book, Sew Totally Nala.

About Sew Totally Nala
Nala loves fashion – especially kawaii fashion, inspired by Japanese streetwear. And Nala is about to have the best summer ever, as she attends a special fashion camp in the city.

Fashion camp is challenging, and there are other kids attending who are really talented. Nala wants to stay true to her designs, but wonders if they will measure up. As her self-doubt grows, she is visited by a squirrel named Timothy, who claims he can help her. But what does a squirrel know about fashion?

Timothy may prefer peanuts to kawaii outfits, but he knows for sure that Nala totally needs to build her confidence. Together, Nala and Timothy rise to a fun summer challenge that will remind readers how good it feels to believe in themselves.

About Misako
Misako is a Japanese manga artist who has published books worldwide, including the graphic novels Bounce Back and No Such Thing as Perfect. Bounce Back was selected for the American Library Association’s 2021 Best Graphic Novels for Children list. She also created the activity book series How to Draw Kawaii Manga with Misako Rocks, which shows readers how to design bubbly, kawaii manga characters and fashion.
