Association for Library Service to Children's Graphic Novels Reading List 2016 ""Eloise artist Hilary Knight brings to life Nina, an unforgettable character who boldly expresses every frustration experienced by young readers—and learns how to quiet down in the process. This reimagining of an undiscovered 1976 classic features new contributions by Hilary Knight and Toon’s signature touches, including a redesign and rewriting with controlled vocabulary just right for early readers.""—Graphic Novel Reporter ""A charming collection...the book encourages communication, so kids don’t have to suffer alone.""—Comics Worth Reading ""Nina is an Everychild with a hint of attitude.

Author Information

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.""
