pickWith simple ink drawings, American cartoonist Keiler Roberts writes about childbirth, parenting, sobriety and anxiety, adult relationships with her siblings & parents, sharing home workspace with her cartoonist husband, dogs that aren‘t always affectionate, amusing things her daughter says, and her MS diagnosis. In other words, a moving and funny memoir about the big & little things of ordinary life. #graphicnovel

Child: I haven‘t done anything naughty and you haven‘t yelled at all.
Mother: Do you need more attention?
