Graphic novel fans, come meet Eisner Award-nominated and New York Times bestselling writer Marika McCoola and debut illustrator Aatmaja Pandya, as they discuss their new young adult graphic novel, SLIP. McCoola and Pandya have crafted a nuanced story about the many ways art can change us forever. SLIP brings to life both the excitement and heartbreak of being a teenager and the fleeting and beautiful feeling that one summer can hold dozens of exhilarating possibilities. It captures both the magic and anguish of growing older and the catharsis that creating art can bring. During the event, McCoola and Pandya will discuss their book, followed by a drawing demo and signing. Register to attend the free event.
