Though short as a picture book, this book is much more -- part
memoir, part graphic novel, it covers Allen Say's own journey to
becoming an artist, despite his own father's rejection of the "scruffy"
artistic life. Say combines his lovely soft watercolor illustrations
with photos, maps, and cartoons to produce a truly fascinating background
for his story. This is a fantastic book for anyone on an artistic
journey of his or her own.
