Sort Of Door Stoppers : A Freewrite

She wrote an amazing little book about Thomas and Dubai, who was the father of Alexander Dumas and whose swashbuckling life was the inspiration for The Three Musketeers. So I think if you start on Catherine Johnson, you want to read them all. But, interestingly, you did. You know you're not looking at great sort of door stoppers for kids' biographies.

He's just so punchy. As Catherine said, what matters about these lines? So she's really, she's a brilliant storyteller,ler and she gets the story told. And they've got maps, of course, those aps. Catherine for children, first of all. But I think sometimes for children, biographies can taste a little bit like homework. And I think a brilliant way around that can be graphic form biographies.

So in the form of a graphic novel, there's a brilliant one called Astronauts, Women on the Final Frontier by Demotivani and Maris Wicks, which is about the first women in space.S pace and iit'sbecause children and adults, it just makes you long for the infinite universe. There's a brilliant one called Vincent by Barbara Stocks about Vincent van Gogh for older kids, because it's a little bit grizzly but has beautiful extracts from his letters to his brother Theo, and that is also just remarkable. We will come tothe Noo recommendations in the moment, but Frank, you've, you've also gone for a traphic form for one of your choices for children.

Yeah, I, I mean, I think I, I've gone for Corpse Talk, which is a, a, a series that came out of the Phoenix comic, and it's pretty, it's just really brilliant. It's by Adam and Lisa Murphy they, and they're a comic and they are interviews with the dead. People.
