Great graphic novel
submitted by rshah on July 20, 2023, 7:42pm
Burgess does a fantastic job bringing to life the struggles they faced in finding themselves and the joy that came when they did. The illustrations really bring their journey to life in a way that is hard to convey in text alone. Burgess’ talents as an illustrator are on full display and I always love seeing how someone merges both their art and their words in such a brilliant way.
I loved this book. It’s heart-warming, moving, and exactly what you want from a graphic nonfiction. And it’s exactly the kind of book we need teens (and, frankly, adults) today to read.
