Above: a glimpse of the cover of Doodlebug (by Karen Romano Young) , the book reviewed in this episode.
Episode 305 of the CMP, a Creativity Matters Podcast
In this episode of the CMP, a review of Doodlebug, a YA book by Karen Romano Young that has wonderful graphic novel form. I was planning to talk about this book anyway (because I really enjoyed it and read it slowly and over time with the CMP in mind), but it now ties in with my #100dayproject, so it has new relevance. I think you will enjoy this book if any or all of the following is true. You:
Love graphic novels
Love to doodle
Love the idea of sketchnoting your life
Have teens (or tweens)
Have ever felt like art helps you balance
Doodlebug is delightfully dense for a graphic novel. It’s small in size, but there is a good bit to take in, and there is quite a bit of text to balance the doodles and illustration. Also in this episode: the CMP List Challenge, the #100DayProject, and a quick look at a new book from Tamara Laporte.
