Hey y’all, Tiffany here with a list of our favorite educational graphic novels for kids.

Our oldest loves to read, and one of her favorite books recently has been a graphic novel about Marie Curie. She reads it at least once a week!

She has asked for more books similar to it, and I thought I found a few, but they turned out to not be as good and beautiful as I would have liked. which is a big reason of why I homeschool the kids.

As you know, I’m also a bit of a TV snob and only let the kids watch educational shows. This also applies to their reading a bit. While I let them read a lot of fun books, I want them to be clean and wholesome.

To help my daughter, and to help any of you who may want educational graphic novels for your kids, I’ve put together this list of my favorites that I have found.

And after your kids read these books, they’re probably going to want to make their own! Use these free printable comic book templates to get them started.
