I'd like to add a few more. As a senior editor at Stone Arch Books, I carefully consider diversity in every graphic novel that I help create. From the preteen protagonists in our historical fiction (Captured Off Guard: The Attack on Pearl Harbor and Mystery at Manzanar: A WWII Internment Camp Story) to the crazy characters in our low-level graphics (Monster and Me, Invasion of the Gym Class Zombies, and The End Zone), each book reflects real-life kids and celebrates their widely varying uniqueness and style. I'm proud to work for a publisher that celebrates diversity, and I'm glad to see that others are doing so a well.
