Description

A "How to Draw Comics" Book for Kids by a kid.

DRAWING COMICS IS EASY! (Except When It’s Hard) by Alexa's Kitchen is entirely (and remarkably) the work of a prodigy cartoonist while in second grade - when she was 7 years-old.
 
The 176 page book, with color throughout, is presumably aimed at a peer audience of other children, but the idiosyncratic How-To book will appeal to readers of any age, especially those interested in cartooning, the creative process and the innocence of youth.

Alexa, has already received considerable acclaim for her precocious cartooning. She was interviewed in Comic Book Artist at age 6, featured in Comics Buyer's Guide, praised several times in Publishers Weekly, caricatured in Print magazine and featured last year in the Dark Horse anthology Sexy Chix with Joyce Carol Oates among others.

Alexa has been prominently featured in The New York Times, Boston Globe, London Sunday Telegraph and Publishers Weekly and her cartoons have been praised by librarians as well as such diverse luminaries as Will Eisner, Neil Gaiman, Mark Schultz, Patrick McDonnell and R. Crumb.
