Join Arthur and his friends in a graphic novel about creativity and confidence from beloved and New York Times bestselling creators Marc Brown and Jarrett J. Krosoczka.

Arthur and his classmates each have a week to write a story about something that’s important to them. And at first, Arthur is thrilled—he has the perfect idea! He’s going to make a comic about how he got his puppy, Pal. But everyone who reads his story has a new suggestion, and after taking all his friends’ advice, Arthur barely recognizes his own story. At least now it’s perfect…right?
Can Arthur learn to tune out the critics and create a comic that feels good to him?
From New York Times bestselling authors Marc Brown and Jarrett J. Krosoczka comes a brand-new graphic novel about everyone’s favorite aardvark as he learns to trust his creative instincts.
