Graphic non-fiction

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what comics are? They are like picture books that tell stories with both words and drawings.

Well, graphic non-fiction is a type of comic where the story is based on true events, real people, or real places. So, it's kind of like a history book, but with lots of pictures that help you understand the story better.

Some graphic non-fiction books might be about famous people like Martin Luther King Jr. or Neil Armstrong, while others might be about events like World War II or the civil rights movement.

So, whenever you read a comic that tells a true story, you are reading graphic non-fiction! What's really great about this type of book is that the pictures can help you understand the story even if you don't understand all the words, and it can make learning about history or science more fun!
