Hand-Me-Down comes out in less than a week on the 28th!! Here’s a little clip that looks cool in the book as a page flip, and I thought could work as a fun Instagram swipe! It’ll be two whole years since my grandmother died and it doesn’t feel like it’s been more than a few months for me. I feel like I should be excitedly promoting this book but I just feel a deep melancholy pit in the center of my chest. I was so excited to show her it when I was finally finished. Grief is so interesting. Asked one too many questions and suddenly I wasn't allowed to watch Golden Girls on the living room floor because it wasn't "age-appropriate." :/ Reviews are rolling in for Hand-Me-Down, publishing later this month! I had fun making these graphics from art in the book. You can preorder wherever books are sold, your favorite independent or request a copy at your local library! 📚 Since it’s Father’s Day and Pride Month I thought I’d share Marcella’s dad’s from my graphic novel Absolutely Everything! 📕 I loved being able to write and illustrate this perfectly imperfect family. They’ve been near and dear to my heart since I first came up with them when I was in high school and I’m so happy to see them in a real book that people had resonated with so many people. Thank you to everyone who’s read and enjoyed it! 🌈 Did you ever have any really odd interests as a kid? I was weirdly fixated on old-timey things (and still am TBH) and forced to have trendy Pokemon shirts and fun Toy Story sneakers (that I also enjoyed TBH). I think American Girl and Anne of Green Gables are to blame. I never know what to say when someone just... stares at me. But somehow it's always the wrong thing. I'm not sure he was interested in talking about fiber arts. Sometimes I'll try as softly as possible to let someone know that a word or phrase they're using is derogatory... and suddenly it becomes their most favorite word in the whole world and I'm the worst person to ever exist in the universe for saying something. I can't count how many times I've stumbled into this same situation. Just another watercolor to get me through the dismal days of existing on this planet of monstrous humans when all I want to do is have tea parties and roll around in fields of lilies. Hand-Me-Down is "Poignant, bittersweet, and delightful." - Kirkus Reviews
