how seems a little weird
Does anyone know if the Graphic Novel series will be available in SPANISH as well, if so when and where can one buy them too??? This is such a beautiful story, the books paint a magical picture in your mind and you get lost in them, then the movies add wonder, adventure and chaos, excitement and more magic, and now these graphic novels add beauty and wonder and more magic… I can’t get enough!!
