I'd never even thought to try my kids on Persepolis, yet they're both older than Marji is at the beginning of the story. As a movie mom, what did you think of the Entertainment Weekly post of the 55 kid movies? Jennifer, that’s a lovely story.

My son still mentions it every now and again and took the graphic novel off the shelf just the other day. He read for about 10 minutes and then gave up, but I'm happy when he reads anything at all! There have been many misfires on the movie front with the kids and me, but I count Persepolis as an unexpected and precious triumph.
