Announcing . . . GUTS!!! (And Share Your Smile!)
Hi readers! I’m so thrilled to finally share with you not one, but TWO new projects coming from me in 2019!
The first is Share Your Smile, a how-to-make-comics journal and guidebook, featuring tips, tricks, and story prompts! That will be released on April 30th! The second is my long-anticipated new graphic novel, GUTS. It’s a true story, just like Smile and Sisters, and comes out in September!
Below you’ll find the covers, plus a bit of info about each book. Keep an eye on my website for further updates about order info, sneak peeks, book tour dates, and more as I anticipate the exciting year ahead!
Guts
More Than Just Tummy Trouble . . .
A True Story
Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it’s probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she’s dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina’s tummy trouble isn’t going away . . . and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships. What’s going on?
Raina Telgemeier once again brings us a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face — and eventually conquer — her fears.
