SIGNED first edition - A memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction, and finding the art that helps you survive, written in a graphic novel format, with a soft palate of gray and earth tones, by this highly praised young artist. "In kindergarten, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, in and out of rehab, and in and out of Jarrett's life. His father is a mystery - Jarrett doesn't know where to find him, or even what his name is. Jarrett lives with his grandparents - two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children until Jarrett came along.. . Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father." SIGNED on the title page and dated in 2018.
