Here are Endorsements for The Global Kid: A Political Comic Book (2016) from Major Political Thinkers and Award-Winning Cartoonists:

"With humor and realism, The Global Kid explains today's scary world to the next generation and inspires them to act today to save our future." -Michele Wucker, Author of The Gray Rhino

"Can comic books save the world? In these very trying times, we need as many antidotes to our global problems as we can get. Dr Maha Aziz gives us a good dose of information in a format that can be swallowed whole by young and old. Is this the cure? To quote Margaret Mead, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.'" -Peter Kuper, Cartoonist at Mad Magazine and Author of Ruins

"All 21st century kids need to become global kids. Here is the guide to learning with them as they prepare to confront everything from inequality to extremism. Very crisp and nicely done." -Dr Parag Khanna, Author of Connectography: Mapping the Future of Global Civilization

"Maha Aziz offers a colorful and entertaining introduction to some extremely important (and complicated!) subjects. The Global Kid is an engaging way to open important conversations between kids and adults." -Dr Ian Bremmer, author of Superpower, Every Nation for Itself, The J-Curve and The Fat Tail

The Global Kid is "easily digestible, beautifully executed and thought provoking." -Paul Thomas, Author of An Unreliable History of Tattoos

"The Global Kid is original, entertaining, very accessible and full of fun. A perfect way to understand a complex subject." -Chris Burke, Cartoonist Contributor to The Economist, Guardian, Time, GQ, Vogue

The Global Kid "eloquently suggests that if the problems causing instability can be clearly seen, the answer is one: more democracy, more power to the people." -Yiannis Dermentzoglou, Political Cartoonist at TVXS.gr and Eleftheros Typos

"Yellow is the color of "caution" and The Global Kid has more yellow than any other comic book in the history of comic books. It is a cautionary tale." -Daryl Cagle, Editorial Cartoonist at Cagle Cartoons Newspaper Syndicate and Former Editorial Cartoonist at MSNBC
