I explained that 'Share your Smile' is a guide to telling your own story and that Raina would be telling the reader different ways to communicate what they're trying to express on paper。Videos I explained that 'Share your Smile' is a guide to telling your own story and that Raina would be telling the reader different ways to communicate what they're trying to express on paper。Videos 。。。more

I have been a huge fan of Raina Telgemeier's comics work since I discovered it back in 2017。 I started with her phenomenal Drama in February that year， and then， during the summer， quickly went through her two autobiographical pieces， Smile and Sisters， after which I moved onto her supernatural piece Ghosts， and also her four adaptations Ann M。 Martin's series of children's novels about The Baby-Sitters Club （starting with Kristy's Great Idea）。So， when I stumbled across this I have been a huge fan of Raina Telgemeier's comics work since I discovered it back in 2017。 I started with her phenomenal Drama in February that year， and then， during the summer， quickly went through her two autobiographical pieces， Smile and Sisters， after which I moved onto her supernatural piece Ghosts， and also her four adaptations Ann M。 Martin's series of children's novels about The Baby-Sitters Club （starting with Kristy's Great Idea）。So， when I stumbled across this creative writing handbook from Telgemeier， in which she shares her creative process and provides a helpful and hands-on manual for the reader to try their own hand at it， I could not resist checking it out。 And it was an interesting read。I will say， and this has had me wrestling with the grade somewhat on account of it， that I am clearly not the much younger intended reader Telgemeier is aiming the book towards。 As such， while I found what she had to say about her process interesting， and her approach nice， I cannot say that it is a writing handbook， I personally find particularly useful for my own part （even though it does have its inspirational value for me as well）。 However， that having been said， I can see how it would be the absolutely perfect writing and drawing handbook for a young reader wanting to try their own hands at comics-making。As such， I will lean my grade towards this latter insight and round upwards， as it were。The book is structured in a manner where Telgemeier first goes through autobiographical comics-making， by example of Smile， then family- and road trip-related storytelling in comics， by example of Sisters， onward to dealing with telling fictional stories in school settings， by example of drama， and finally using location and the supernatural in one's comics， by example of Ghosts。 。。。more

Love Telgemeir’s book！ Though this book is geared toward kiddos， it was still nice to see her artistic process and ideas for aspiring writers！

I think that this is a good little activity journal to learn how to draw the characters and write about are selves and put pictures of stuff。I think this is a good book for all ages to just take a break and use your creativity。And you get to read some of each book by Raina Telgemeier。

I'm not going to give this a star rating， because I'm not the target audience nor do I have aspirations of being a cartoonist。 I just read this because I'll read anything Raina Telgemeier releases。This is a great "how to"-type book， helping middle grade kids take from their real lives to make comics， like how Raina did with Smile and Sisters。 There are some neat behind-the-scenes pictures， which was the part that I was most interested in， and lots of great advice for budding graphic n I'm not going to give this a star rating， because I'm not the target audience nor do I have aspirations of being a cartoonist。 I just read this because I'll read anything Raina Telgemeier releases。This is a great "how to"-type book， helping middle grade kids take from their real lives to make comics， like how Raina did with Smile and Sisters。 There are some neat behind-the-scenes pictures， which was the part that I was most interested in， and lots of great advice for budding graphic novelists。 If this book succeeded in anything， it made me want to go through and re-read Raina's books again。 It's been awhile since I've read them， and the excerpts made me want to pick them up。 The only negative I can find about this is the extreme lack of Baby-sitters Club， but I guess the focus was on her original work， so I'll forgive it。 （Really， I can never get enough BSC though！） 。。。more

More a workbook than a non-fiction book。 Lots of white space for individual contributions。 Not bad， but not a lot of meat to digest。

Raina Telgemeier， beloved by school-age children everywhere， shares tips from writing her own graphic novels on how to write and illustrate your own memoir， drama， and supernatural story。 Of course， there are pages for filling in your own ideas， so maybe it is best to own your own copy， but those pages are less than half and may be better off on separate paper for writing your own story。 Our library has a copy because the writing and drawing info is beefy enough for the kids to borrow to read， a Raina Telgemeier， beloved by school-age children everywhere， shares tips from writing her own graphic novels on how to write and illustrate your own memoir， drama， and supernatural story。 Of course， there are pages for filling in your own ideas， so maybe it is best to own your own copy， but those pages are less than half and may be better off on separate paper for writing your own story。 Our library has a copy because the writing and drawing info is beefy enough for the kids to borrow to read， and then to practice on their own paper。 。。。more

Thanks to the Kid Lit Exchange for a review copy。 All opinions are my own。I really like this book。 Telgemeier gives young people a framework and prompts for writing or drawing their own stories。 She gives enough background about her own life and how that influences her books for readers to understand how their backgrounds can prompt their creations， and she gives them space to start writing and drawing。

A great gift for a budding young author and/or artist。 A lot of great， accessible ideas on how kids can get started on writing their own stuff。

A very quick read about the creative process Raina Telgemeier goes through to make her graphic novels。 It’s also have journal/activity book to encourage budding young writers to brainstorm their own ideas for a graphic novel。 Love her books so I really enjoyed this behind-the-scenes book！

I love Raina Telgemeier。 Seriously。 I have read every single one of her middle-grade graphic novels and love them all。 If Raina decided to publish a graphic novel about her grocery list - I would buy it and give it 5 stars。 She is that good。 This is her debut nonfiction book - an interactive journal where Telegemeier takes the reader through her personal creative journey while encouraging the reader to find their own。 She encourages the reader to draw， write， and create stories*。 Throughout the I love Raina Telgemeier。 Seriously。 I have read every single one of her middle-grade graphic novels and love them all。 If Raina decided to publish a graphic novel about her grocery list - I would buy it and give it 5 stars。 She is that good。 This is her debut nonfiction book - an interactive journal where Telegemeier takes the reader through her personal creative journey while encouraging the reader to find their own。 She encourages the reader to draw， write， and create stories*。 Throughout the book， there are pages with snippets of her previously published works （Smile， Drama， Sisters， Ghosts） as well as a sneak peek of her upcoming graphic novel， Guts。 It is a very cute and inspiring read。 *Remember， if checking out from the library you will need to write/draw on your own paper and not the pages of the book。 -Jenny L。 。。。more
