This graphic memoir by children’s book illustrator David Small is the horrifying re-telling of his early childhood. The text is sparse but the author does a wonderful job of portraying his fear, anguish, and heartbreak through illustrations. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live with parents who see you as an annoyance or an after-thought. What is must have been like to wake up in a hospital bed after having a so-called simple surgery and not be able to speak. Small does an excellent job of giving the reader emotions on the page rather than words. Everyone should read this!
