Just Dads Reading Books is about judging your children for what they read. E.J. Sanders and Matt Martens investigate children's books and young adult novels so you don't have to. We'll never tell kids they can't read something, but we will try to make them feel cool for reading the good stuff.

Akata Woman
It's taken us a while, but we've finally finished our journey with Nnedi Okorafor! The series hasn't been concluded, but the most recent entry in the adventures of Sunny Nwazue, Akata Woman, was released 2022 and we'll wait as long as we must for whatever comes next. And with this entry, there's a lot of growing up to do!

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Smoke and Shadow
We disappeared there for a little bit, but the Dads are back on track. What better way to bring this show back into the world than with our favorite thing: Avatar! We're nearing the end of our main arc of the Avatar graphic novels, so let's see how our latest entry compares to the rest of the series.

Akata Warrior
We missed last week due to a horrible move across country for Matt leaving him computerless for more time than he expected! But it was all worth the wait because we finally get to talk about the follow up to Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch!

Mother Bruce
Read books with your kids. It's fun. But boy is it so much easier and more fun when you have books like Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins. Illustrations that evoke so much emotion, humor that actually works for all ages, and stories that are FUN to read. We've got a new favorite author/illustrator, folks...

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Toph Beifong's Metalbending Academy
Quick! More Avatar while no one is looking! This is a quick look at a shorter Avatar comic, but also we finally get to start talking about the new live action Avatar series. We've only watched a couple of episodes, and we'll be slowly watching over the next few Avatar comic episodes, so join us for the ride!

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift
One more! We're still putting off our Akata Warrior episode but we got our hands on the next set of Avatar graphic novels! This one is perhaps a less impressive entry than the first two, but honestly how is one supposed to compete with those in the first place? If anything, we get a nice filler episode that feels in line with the tone of the show itself!
