EISNER AWARD NOMINEES
The Eisner Awards are the Oscars of comics. This year there are two categories for young readers. Personally, I love the nominees this year – high-quality all around. Any of these titles would be a great addition to your classroom library. Winners are in red.
Best Publication for Kids
Best Publication for Teens/Tweens
Creators Art Baltazar and Fraco (TINY TITANS)

SCHUSTER AWARD NOMINEES
The Shuster Awards are for Canadian comic creators. I haven’t read all of these titles, but I highly recommend JELLABY (a cute monster mystery) and NO GIRLS ALLOWED (Tales of Daring Women Dressed as Men for Love, Freedom and Adventure). RABBIT AND BEAR PAWS would be great to use during a study of native cultures and history.
Here are the Shuster Awards “Comics for Kids” nominees:
