![]() ![]() I didn’t want my parents to split up, I didn’t want my mom to get a new boyfriend, I didn’t want to live with his kids, or do farm chores, but I didn’t have a choice about those changes. I’m frustrated about other things, but being a kid in a situation beyond my control is a unique feeling. Lucy Knisley: One of the hardest things was reliving that frustration! Being an adult, I don’t experience that as much. What is the hardest thing about writing something so close to you? TYF: Stepping Stones, like your other graphic novels, is deeply personal and came a bit from your own childhood. ![]() ![]() Order your copy from your favorite indie bookstore during this time and be sure to check it out from your local library if they’re open! And be sure to read on about Lucy’s middle-grade novel process, writing about personal topics, and what she’s reading and enjoying now. Readers won’t want to miss this graphic novel and if you’ve never read a Lucy Knisley book before, now is a perfect time to start. In her latest, Stepping Stones, Lucy tackles the middle-grade audience and a personal subject that many of us have experience in. I instantly loved the style, both realistic and arresting, the illustrations capture and transform in a familiar and comforting way, a true visual banquet for any graphic novel reader. I first encountered Lucy Knisley through her wondrous graphic novels, An Age of License: A Travelogue and Relish: My Life In The Kitchen. ![]()
