The Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell, 288 pp, RL 4

Review Originally posted on August 31, 2018 The Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell Purchased at Barnes & Noble Story : This is a story with a story! On Arpil 15, 2015, Chad Sell launched the collaborative comics project that became The Cardboard Kingdom . Ten creators in nine different cities answered Chad's call for writers to contribute stories he would illustrate. The call was answered by Jay Fuller , David Demeo, Katie Schenkel , Manuel Betancourt , Molly Muldoon , Vid Alliger , Cloud Jacobs, Michael Cole, Barbara Perez Marquez and Kris Moore, who passed away unexpectedly in 2017 and to whom the book is dedicated. Contributors are everything from writers and comics creators to teachers (college and fifth grade), a jewelry designer and a newly minted librarian. As the collaborative creators of The Cardboard Kingdom themselves demonstrate, like themselves, the world within this graphic novel that they created is one of inclusion, diversity and positivity. U
