Reading Rockets: Author Interviews: Matthew Holm

Curated by ACT

Matt Holm has always loved to draw, especially comics. With his sister Jennifer Holm, he co-created two enormously popular graphic novels series - one featuring a pink-obsessed mouse (Babymouse) and another starring a brave amoeba (Squish). Holm is drawn to the graphic novel format for its storytelling power. Watch the interview to learn more about him and read a short biography about his life. Includes an interview transcript and a selected list of his books.
