"Since it was first published in 1999, Gregory Michie's Holler If You Hear Me: The Education of a Teacher and His Students has become one of the most enduring teacher memoirs of our time. For its 20th anniversary, Michie, along with comics artist Ryan Alexander-Tanner and 10 teen and young adult artists, have re-imagined the book as a graphic memoir, bringing a fresh, vibrant energy to its tales of struggle and hope in the classroom. Weaving back and forth between Michie's awakening as a young teacher and the first-person stories of his students, Holler If You Hear Me, Comic Edition paints an intimate and compassionate portrait of teaching and learning in urban America. Set in 1990s Chicago but still startlingly relevant today, this new adaptation of a long-time educator favorite is sure inspire a new generation of teachers, students, and anyone who is concerned about the future of public education"-- Provided by publisher.
