13 January 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - Continuing the tradition of Silverline Books all-ages' graphic novels like DEAR DRACULA, BRUCE THE LITTLE BLUE SPRUCE and MISSING THE BOAT is Vicente Navarette's take on a favorite pastime, KITE DAY!

"After being so taken with DEAR DRACULA, I was extremely pleased to once again work with Vinny on KITE DAY," Silverline Books Publisher Jim Valentino said. "KITE DAY is exactly the kind of book Silverline Books looks for: engaging graphic novellas that bridge the gap between comics and traditional all-ages' books suitable for kids and parents alike."
