Author and Illustrator: David Small
Why Selected: Assigned for lit circle
Merit: Autobiographical graphic novel. Dark and depressing, not really a book for children. A gripping tale though, that gives an interesting insight into a person that does fantastic illustrations for kids books.
Share: Knowledge of his life story reflected in some of his works that encourage kids. Use to help kids understand that they can do great things no matter how terrible they think their life is.
Appeal: Mature audience or maybe a very interested artist, fit for higher grades.
