Now that I have a book out in the world I am forced to seek it out in any bookstore I pass for the rest of my life 😌 🌈 ✨
Other Boys received a 2nd starred review ⭐️ in the Oct 15 issue of Booklist! 📕
Just little pandemic things 😬
Come out at your own pace, at your own time, whenever you see fit and are comfortable ✨ 🌈
I made a custom American Girl doll of little me and a little copy of Other Boys 😌 Thank you to everyone who has shared pictures of your copy and of it out on store shelves! Keep sending them my way and I’ll keep sharing to my story 🥰
I made an Other Boys playlist inspired by my middle school mix CDs! 💿 Scan the code on Spotify to access it or click the link on the post in my story! 😌
Thank you for all the kind words about Other Boys ❤️🧡💛💚💙 And be sure to tag me in pics of your copy or if you find Other Boys out in the wild! Also if you love it be sure to leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon or recommend it to your local library 📚 I’m excited to one day see a library copy covered in those little spine stickers and well-worn from readers! 🥰
This LEGO set is the perfect little stand to display Other Boys on my shelf 😌 Other Boys is available now everywhere books are sold! You can get it in either paperback and hardcover! 🌈📚 If you buy a copy or see it out in the wild in its natural habitat (a bookstore or library!) please tag or @ me cause I’d love to see! ❤️🧡💛💚💙
It’s Other Boys first birthday and @kevinthewriter got me a cake to celebrate! Thank you to my editor Robyn and everyone at @01firstsecond for making this book really real! 🌈♥️🥳🎂📚
☎️ RING! ☎️ RING! ☎️ Who’s calling? It’s me! Letting you know Other Boys comes out tomorrow September 28th!! 🌈 📚
✨ Other Boys received a starred review from Kirkus ✨ It comes out in only 5️⃣ more days ✨ Be sure to preorder your copy ✨
I spent too long thinking about how a bookplate would fit with the design of “Other Boys” and didn’t want something that clashed, so I went with custom stickers rather than a traditional bookplate using a design of the binder that recurs throughout the book! It perfectly fits on the title page just above the First Second logo. (See pic 2 for how it will fit). I’m really happy with how these bookplates turned out 🥰 Preorder “Other Boys” at Porter Square Books to receive one! (“Other Boys” comes out September 28th) 📚
Join me for the Other Boys launch event in conversation with @ry_la_sa on October 2nd at 4pm ET / 1pm PT! I'm so excited to share my debut graphic novel memoir with you all. 🌈 Limited edition signed & doodled bookplates will be available with preorders with @porter_square_books 📚
My first time seeing a real physical copy of Other Boys!!! It’s so weird seeing it really real after working on it for so long!! It comes out September 28th! Thank you to Robyn and the wonderful team at @01firstsecond for making this book really real!! 🌈✨♥️
Fun fact: I still have many of the toys that are featured throughout my upcoming book Other Boys! This hand-me-down doll has somehow managed to stay in my life all these years! Do you still have any of your childhood toys? Also be sure to pop by @01firstsecond Instagram live tomorrow at 4pm EST / 1pm PST for our comic creators chat!! (Swipe for more info)
12-year-old me is going to be super embarrassed when our diary is released on September 28th. Remember to preorder Other Boys! 😌🌈✨
I used to love playing with paper dolls as a kid, so I made these ones of me AS a kid! I used to draw my own characters and cut them out and play out little adventures with them all the time. You can find this sheet as a printable at DamiAnimated.com/OtherBoys and you can preorder Other Boys wherever books are sold. Coming out September 28th from @01firstsecond 🌈
I’ve been feeling this strange sense of dread lately. Almost as if I’m mourning something and I can’t remember what it is. I feel myself unable to reach out to family and friends, as if I’m subconsciously drifting away. There’s a fear of losing the people I care for but also the feeling that they may no longer care for me. When I was very young if I felt lost or scared I would hide away and hold my favorite doll and let myself cry. I can remember the distinct sound of my tears plopping onto his hollow plastic head and then I’d return to the real world. I haven’t cried in a long time. Maybe I’ll go do that later.
Maybe I should wear my glasses all the time? 🤔
The official publication date for “Other Boys,” my upcoming book, has changed to September 28th! (There were some pandemic related shipment issues). But you can preorder now wherever books are sold.✨🎉
