Sunshine: A Graphic Novel

Average rating4.6
Like Jarrett's experiences I expected this to be dark but it ended up being sweet and life affirming. The ONLY reason I didn't cry was that I read it while being tattooed and I didn't want my artist to think they were making me cry.
a PERFECT followup to [b:Hey, Kiddo: How I Lost My Mother, Found My Father, and Dealt with Family Addiction 37822650 Hey, Kiddo How I Lost My Mother, Found My Father, and Dealt with Family Addiction Jarrett J.

(Tho OFC there are sad moments) And it really captures a lot of the ~magic~ of the summer camp experience–I didn't work at a camp specifically for children with illnesses but a lot of the joys of camp Jarrett describes here still really resonated with me. Also I think the way he incorporates his own art education and career will be really interesting for young artists reading.
