Debuting in 2017,\u00a0Bolivar<\/em>\u00a0introduced readers to a dinosaur that lives in New York City\u2014and his young neighbor Sybil who tries to tell everyone about him. The original graphic novel earned universal acclaim, including a prestigious selection as one of NPR\u2019s \u201cBest Books of 2017\u201d, being named one of 2017 New York Public Library Best Books For Reading And Sharing, earning a 2017 Junior Library Guild Selection and earning a place as a 2018 Excellence In Graphic Literature Finalist: Best Children’s Books.\u00a0Bolivar<\/em>continued to impress audiences in 2018, earning nominations for 2018 Eisner Comics Industry Award for Best Kids’ Book (Ages 9-12) and 2018 Ringo Award for Best Kids Comic or Graphic Novel, while Rubin himself was named a finalist for the 2018 Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award. The original graphic novel also earned starred reviews in top publications such as Publishers Weekly, Booklist and School Library Journal.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0BOLIVAR EATS NEW YORK: A DISCOVERY ADVENTURE\u2122,<\/strong>\u00a0Sybil learns that Bolivar only likes corned beef sandwiches, so she informs him that he\u2019s been missing out on one of the great attributes of New York City and its rich communities–delicacies from around the world! Knishes! Falafel! Dim Sum! And it wouldn\u2019t be a story in the Big Apple without pizza! Explore the five boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan in this lushly illustrated\u00a0Discovery Adventure\u2122<\/strong>\u00a0where kids and parents alike search for their favorite foods, and find other sites unique to one of the greatest cities in the world!<\/p>\n

Sean Rubin is a native of Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Princeton University, later making his graphic novel debut in 2017 with\u00a0Bolivar.<\/em>\u00a0He\u2019s also an illustrator for the New York Times Bestselling\u00a0Redwall\u00a0<\/em>series and of the upcoming\u00a0Astronaut Who Painted the Moon\u00a0<\/em>(Scholastic, 2019) and\u00a0Capital Magic\u00a0<\/em>(Holiday House, 2020).<\/p>\n

\u201cI was delighted when BOOM! Studios suggested creating a discovery adventure around Bolivar and New York City, especially because this would give me an opportunity to revisit some of my favorite places to eat in all five boroughs,\u201d said Rubin. \u201cI’ve even had multiple offers to help with the research!\u201d<\/p>\n
