After Isaac is caught vandalizing a sign at his local community garden, he's put to work under the wing of one of the gardeners, Aurora. But Isaac's time with Aurora isn't just about growing vegetables! As they make useful projects together for the garden and for Isaac's home, Aurora teaches Isaac about the natural and human-built systems we're all a part of, how our decisions and lifestyles impact the planet, and how even a kid can make better choices to live more sustainably!

As with all the titles in the Maker Comics series, Live Sustainably is a step-by-step DIY guide that will help kids roll up their sleeves and get making with confidence! In this book you'll learn how to make a composting worm farm, beeswax food wrappers, a bee garden, and more.

Story and art by Ariel Schrag.

Ariel Schrag, a critically-acclaimed memoirist and screenwriter, takes us on a painfully funny tour of her formative years, from her childhood in Berkeley to her mid-twenties in Brooklyn, exploring what it means to connect to others when you don't yet know who you are-when you want to be "part of it" but the "it" changes daily. We meet hippie babysitters, mean girls, best friends, former friends, prom dates, girlfriends, sex ed students, and far too many LensCrafters sales associates. These frank, irreverent, and honest comics revel in the uncomfortable, and occasionally cringe-inducing, moments from our early years that end up wiring us as people.

Written by Kim Hyun Sook and Ryan Estrada. Art and cover by Hyung-Ju Ko.

When Kim Hyun Sook started college in 1983 she was ready for her world to open up. After acing her exams and sort-of convincing her traditional mother that it was a good idea for a woman to go to college, she looked forward to soaking up the ideas of Western Literature. But this was during South Korea's Fifth Republic, a military regime that entrenched its power through censorship, torture, and the murder of protestors.

In this charged political climate, Hyun Sook sought refuge in the comfort of books. And as she soon discovered, in a totalitarian regime, the delights of discovering great works of illicit literature are quickly overshadowed by fear and violence as the walls close in.
