Stitches: A Memoir

By David Small

This is an illustrated memoir about the author's life growing up in a very distant, oblivious and abusive family. Without giving his story away, I really enjoyed the experience of reading it through illustration as well as words. There were so many ways that he positioned the drawings as a self-exploration at a given moment in one's childhood that really moved me. It is a pretty horrific story he lived through and it was an amazing way to share it with the world. I really enjoyed this book!

Just study this cover for a moment and you will get a feeling for the way you will experience this book.
