Maybe it’s because I love finding a mother of two like me who also reads lots of comics, or maybe it’s just that my kids have brought home her Babymouse graphic novels from school and gotten me hooked, but I wish I could make it to the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., this Saturday to meet Jennifer L. Holm. The festival, which takes place on the National Mall, will host about 70 authors including Holm, who creates the books for her Babymouse series with her brother, Matthew.

The Washington Post has a close-up about Holm today in anticipation of her appearance, and an article in the newspaper’s KidsPost section about her newest book, the part-prose/part-graphic novel, “Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf.”
