In addition to providing important facts about the life & legacy of one of the world's most significant leaders, this book introduces kids to the graphic novel genre.  Graphic novels are fun & creative ways of relaying a story. They read similarly to comic books which is useful for visual learners, artistically minded students, struggling readers, and fostering an interest in nonfiction through alternative presentation. If you have a child who struggles with reading or lacks interest in history or this topic, a graphic ("picture") format may promote engagement & interest!
