Drawn In

Drawn In is a series of epic adventure stories set in a bustling Midwestern city. It follows the exploits of four kids who unabashedly love comic books: Tyler Agbani, Nevaeh Campbell, Jadyn Harris, and Yeong-Ja "Grace" Park.

In every adventure, their real worlds collide with the comic world. Colorful heroes, villains, robots, and other fanciful creatures escape from the comic books' pages. The kids use problem-solving and literacy skills to set their world right again from cartoon mayhem!

Nine PBS has partnered with Lion Forge Animation, the Academy Award®-winning creators of Hair Love, on this new multimedia initiative, Drawn In. Stories are shared through animated video shorts, print and digital comic books, and a website with educational games for kids.

This site includes links to resources for educators and grown-ups that encourage co-viewing and help families build literacy activities into their everyday lives. Learn more...

Lady M's Magnificent Words

Lady M's Magnificent Words are essential vocabulary words organically incorporated into the dialogue of each adventure and repeated throughout as the kids try to analyze their situation, establish a plan, and overcome obstacles. By the time each adventure is over, Tyler, Nevaeh, Jadyn, and Grace will have used the words effectively and, more importantly, used them as tools to set their world right again.
