Hey Kiddo

DESCRIPTION :

An important graphic novel memoir that was a US National

Book Award Finalist.

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.

Jarrett goes through his childhood trying to make his non-normal

life as normal as possible, finding a way to express himself through

drawing even as so little is being said to him about what’s

going on.

Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together

the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and

tracking down his father.

Hey, Kiddo is a profoundly important memoir

about growing up in a family grappling with addiction, and

finding the art that helps you survive.

an Artist, has over a million views
