Review Quotes

Praise for The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page

"[A] meta-fable about conformity and self-worth. . . it's a straightforward arc whose delicate ink lines and washes make each scratchy single-plane drawing feel like a shared glimpse into a cherished personal sketchbook." --Publishers Weekly
