Stitches, by David Small

9780393068573A graphic novel style  memoir of growing up in Detroit  by the renowned illustrator of children’s books,  ( and  winner of the Caldecott, Christopher, and E.B. White awards),  David Small.

Nothing is extraneous in this bizarre, sad, and ultimately triumphant tale.  Small’s maternal grandmother was labeled a “white trash tramp” when she became pregnant. And when Small’s mother was born, barely alive, the doctor discovered that “her heart was over on the wrong side of her chest”.

Add to this a father who is a radiologist, treating his young son with massive amounts of radiation to cure his sinus condition, and well,  I don’t want to give any more away…

Stitches is a  must, must read!

  1. I’ve heard from other librarians and recently from a patron who doesn’t know much about graphic novels about how good this is! It is my next lunchtime read. I can’t wait to get started on it today!

  2. Lisa’s created a word of mouth frenzy over this book. I’ll just have to patiently wait i suppose.
