How Does She Know So Much?

I wonder how a 10-year-old has such keen and funny insights... in many cases without words. I loved the head explosion over the yummy pancakes; the tangle of siblings; the details of the "Filthy Forever" page followed by the sacked-out girl who seems to need a rest from all the fun, and my personal favorite, "Rough Day?" of Hurricane Abby. A harrowing day told in two words and one panel. A delightful book - not just for kids.

They truly are!

Alexa Kitchen's graphic narratives are visually bold and contain both humor and truth. She invites the reader to share her vision of life, thus reminding us of what it was like being a kid. Her images are drawn from ten years of life experiences and she tells it like she sees it. This funny and goofy book is proof that no talented artist need wait until she is old, to share her stories and art. It's perfect for children but it's fun for adults too. It's a page turner and each anecdote is delightful!
