NINA IN THAT MAKES ME MAD! ; TOON Level 2

"A graphic novel that kids will completely understand. After all, who hasn’t been mad when people don’t understand you or blame you for things you didn’t do or when you don’t want to have to do what you’re told?"—School Library Journal

"Fresh and buoyant...Knight’s art places Nina between siblings in a comfortably domestic setting. He captures her feelings in a broad range of wonderfully expressive body language ranging from hunched-shoulder, irritated frowns to melodramatic sprawls."—Kirkus Reviews

What makes Nina mad? Lots of things—lots of little, everyday things, frustrations that all children will recognize. But Nina knows how to speak her mind and that makes her feel much better.

Hilary Knight is the son of two accomplished artist-writers, Clayton Knight and Katherine Sturges. Hilary Knight came into his own enormous success by illustrating Kay Thompson's Eloise series, which has been a cultural touchstone for generations. He is the author-illustrator of nine children's books and the illustrator of more than 50 others. He has also produced many magazine illustrations, record album covers, and posters for Broadway musicals.

Steven Kroll, who passed away recently, was a beloved and long-time member of the children's book community. He said, "When I'm working on a book, I see the pictures as I write the words. How fortunate that the illustrators of my books have all seen what I've seen and have captured the magic I wish to share."
