The first original graphic novel in a new series spotlighting the true stories of the real groundbreakers who changed our world for the better.“Sometimes the times were dark and the outlook was lonesome, but where there is a will, there is a way. I pitched in and dug at my work until now I am where I am.” Meet Edmonia Lewis, the woman who changed America during the Civil War by becoming the first sculptor of African-American and Native American heritage to earn international acclaim. Jasmine Walls & Bex Glendining present the true story of courage, determination and perseverance through one of America’s most violent eras to create true beauty that still reverberates today. It’s about being seen. Both for who you are, and who you hope you can become. History is a mirror, and all too often, the history we’re told in school reflects only a small subset of the population. In Seen: True Stories of Marginalized Trailblazers, you’ll find the stories of the real groundbreakers who changed our world for the better. They’re the heroes: the inventors, the artists, the activists, and more whose stories you won’t want to miss. The people whose lives show us both where we are, and where we’re going.

När Mio vägrar att läsa en saga för sin lillasyster händer det märkliga saker. Boken får plötsligt liv och Mio hamnar i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret. Han försöker hitta en väg ut, men precis som Belle är han nu fånge hos Odjuret. Hur ska han komma hem igen? Och varför lyssnar inte Odjuret på vad Belle säger. Ett nej, är ju ett nej!När Mio kastas rakt in i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret får han perspektiv på saker. Varför var han så dum och vägrade att läsa saga för sin lillasyster? Nu är det till exempel inte viktigt längre med dyra saker till Mios rum. Det viktiga är att Odjuret respekterar Belle, och att Mio får komma hem igen. Men hur?Nu introducerar Nypon förlag serieböcker som tar ett modernt och humoristiskt tag om några av historiens mest välkända sagor. Böckerna är enkel läsning för de yngre, och passar bra att använda i klassrummet som bredvidläsning, eller för att diskutera olika teman. I Skönheten säger nej, är det fokus på att respektera varandra, och att det faktiskt kan vara hur coolt som helst att vara snäll!Så här skriver BTJ om Skönheten säger nej:”… Boken är del av Nypons serie Moderna sagor med lättlästnivå 2. Den kan öppna dörren för vidare serieläsning och bli en bro till mer textrik läsning. Innehållet väcker frågor om att stå upp för sig själv, lyssna på andra och följa sina känslor. Och om pojkars och flickors förväntade roller. Här finns stoff att diskutera eller fartfylld läsning från pärm till pärm. …” Anna Eklöv Rosander, BTJ.
