“This delightful graphic novel will challenge all teachers and prospective educators to think more deeply about their practice—the craft, the science, and, yes, the art of teaching.”
—From the Foreword by William Ayers, author of To Teach: The Journey, in Comics (with Ryan Alexander-Tanner)
“With a contagious passion, a dynamic pen, and a generous wit, Rachel Braham returns art to its rightful place in our schools—the beating heart of the education our children deserve. ‘What's So Great About Art, Anyway?’ isn’t just for art educators; it’s for all of us.”
—Adam Bessie, Diablo Valley College, co-author of graphic report The Disaster Capitalism Curriculum (with Dan Archer)
“This visually and conceptually captivating book blazes new territory in the tradition of teacher memoirs, while reminding us of the vital importance of art education in our schools.”
—Gregory Michie, Chicago teacher, author of Holler If You Hear Me
“This book is refreshing! Branham's ideas are purposefully provocative, and she expresses them through a popular medium.”
