ABOUT THIS BOOK
Co-designed and co-written by families, AI, and a multidisciplinary team of artists, educators, and writers at The GIANT Room, Granby Cartoons invites all kids (and adults) to read the silliest, kindest, most interesting comic strips!
We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Granby Public Library. We implemented a Remix Station with children’s librarian Michele Kaminski.
The participants joined, dreamed, created, and shared their comic strips. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into one GIANT book of comics. Each comic has its own title page with the story’s title, the author’s name, and the author’s age.
Using participants’ ideas, drawings, writings, and input, we created AI-generated avatars of the characters that appear in their story and an AI-generated background image as the setting for their story. There’s even a place for participants to add their official author signature!
We want to thank the librarians and staff from Granby Public Library for their partnership. Funding for this program was made possible by the Connecticut State Library and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
Let’s get reading!

Adventure on Tundranama
By The
GIANT Room
OOOOOOO!
Thank you so much! I’ve been frozen in that ice cube forever!
There is a snow storm on the far away planet of Tundranama.
Who knew there would be such intense snow and ice on Tundranama?!
Brrrrrrr…. Chuck, whyare we here? It’sfreezing!
According to the space guide, Tundranama is an essentialplace to visit on this side ofthegalaxy. SPACE GUIDE
Welcome, foreigners! I’m from this part of this galaxy and unintentionally have now spent a month here on the planet of Tundranama due to being stuck in a brick of ice…
Oh, isn’t he cute?! Chuck and I found him on the planet of Boogalooku!
So if you need any tips or want a tour, I’m your guy!
Say, what do you got there?
Oh, c’mon! How could something so cute be invasive and dangerous.
You weren’t supposed to bring him here!!!
According to the guide, this species is highly invasive and dangerous to the planet of Tundranama!
I think I see what the guide meant.
Can we please deal with the matter at hand?
You just never acknowledged me… and I’m shy…
redibly bi e! Whoa th t
A little help, Superman?!
I’m sorry, I’m just scared, and since I was small, singing “Mary Had a Little Lamb” has helped me calm down. MARY HAD
LITTLE LAMB A
Shoot, my lasso!
Well I’ll be…
He loves Mary Had a Little Lamb!
Well,it was nice to meet y’all but we better be going!

Yeah...Kevin and I are slightly uncomfortable. We’re vegetarians.
Yes, it seems we accidentally booked the wrong tickets for our vacation.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope I can still make this trip worth your while! Maybe for now, we can stick to the park!
We have an idea! Maybe we should have a relay race!
Oh yes! And you can be the referee!
thatsoundsgood!How doyoufeelaboutthat, Ohio boys?
I suppose…
Yeah, Hank! Use those long legs!
Oh dear. I forgot that turtles are probably not the best relay race partners….
Bob, trying rolling! You’re a little bit faster when you do that!
Yes, unfortunately, this race is slightly uphill…
Goodidea, Hank!
Go, Kevin! Go, twin!
It’s neck and neck…and neck!
It looks like we have a three way tie!
Well now, it smells like rotting meat and sweaty BO!
