Join Zenith Bookstore on Sunday, September 7th, 11-1 PM as we celebrate Tuck Everlasting’s 50th anniversary. Meet K. Woodman-Maynard who has adapted and illustrated it into Tuck Everlasting: The Graphic Novel. The original beloved children’s classic has sold more than 10 million copies! K. will autograph books and talk to guests one-on-one about her work and answer any questions.
From Newbery Honoree and E. B. White Award winner Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting is a modern-day masterpiece that has been a staple on home bookshelves and in classrooms and libraries for half a century. Drawing closely from the original text, it is now brought to visual life in K. Woodman-Maynard’s gorgeous watercolor artwork. The perfect book for new readers and long-devoted fans alike, Tuck Everlasting: The Graphic Novel is sure to be an all-time favorite for every generation.
In this timeless story about immortality, friendship, and growing up, young Winnie Foster learns of a hidden spring in a nearby wood and meets the Tuck family, whose members reveal their astonishing discovery of the spring’s life-changing power. Now Winnie must decide what to do with her newfound knowledge—and the Tucks must decide what to do with her. But it’s not just the curious girl who is interested in their remarkable tale. A suspicious stranger is also searching for the Tucks, and he will stop at nothing until he finds them and uncovers their secret.
As a child, cartoonist K. Woodman-Maynard grew up with undiagnosed learning disabilities and struggled to learn how to read and write. Instead, she dove into the world of storytelling through her art, which is what she continues to do to this day. K.’s debut, The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, was called “hugely rewarding” by The Wall Street Journal. She’s a graduate of Harvard University, where she studied animation, and has worked as an animator, designer, and illustrator for companies such as Capital One, TOMS, and Nickelodeon. In addition to making graphic novels, K. leads workshops; works as a comics coach; and has a weekly Substack newsletter, Creating Comics, where she encourages artists to create more and feel less bad about themselves in the process. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her spouse and an enthusiastic dog.
