Author Visit: Talking Junie B. Jones with Colleen AF Venable & Honie Beam

Author Visit: Talking Junie B. Jones with Colleen AF Venable & Honie Beam

After more than 30 years as a beloved favorite, the world's funniest kindergartner is coming to graphic novels - with brand-new, full-color adaptations that bring Junie B. to life for a new generation of readers and give kids even more ways to laugh - and read - with Junie B. Jones!

Rediscovered Books and Boise Public Library are excited to welcome Colleen AF Venable & Honie Beam for a talk about adapting the ever-popular children's books to the graphic novel medium, beginning with Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus. There will be a signing after the talk and books will be available for purchase. 

Colleen AF (Ann Felicity) Venable is the author of many kids books, including the Katie the Catsitter series. Colleen discovered Junie B. as a young babysitter and says, "I instantly fell in love. I don't think any character in literature connects with me as much!"

Honie Beam (pronounced honey) is making her graphic novel debut with Junie B. Jones. Honie grew up reading Junie B. and is excited to be on the team! When she's not illustrating, Honie can be found playing the mandolin and doodling dragons on important tax documents.
