In this episode of NW Book Talk, host Patty Grasher interviews Aron Steinke, Eisner-nominated cartoonist and author of the popular Mr. Wolf’s Class series. Aron discusses his newest standalone graphic novel for kids, SPEECHLESS — a powerful, nearly wordless story about navigating middle school, communication, and self-expression.
We explore the creative process behind SPEECHLESS, how Aron’s background as an elementary school teacher informs his stories, and why graphic novels resonate so deeply with young readers.
Whether you're a parent, educator, librarian, or middle-grade reader at heart, this episode will leave you inspired.
