David Small, Caldecott award-winning illustrator, is the author of the new graphic novel/memoir Stitches. He will be in Minneapolis at Magers and Quinn this Tuesday, 9/15, at 7:30, and it looks to be an incredibly interesting event.

Per the publisher, W.W. Norton, “Small, a prize-winning children’s author, re-creates a life story that might have been imagined by Kafka. Readers will be riveted by his journey from speechless victim, subjected to X-rays by his radiologist father and scolded by his withholding and tormented mother, to his decision to flee his home at sixteen with nothing more than dreams of becoming an artist.”
