This terrific graphic memoir is written from the point of view of a teenager who volunteers at a camp for kids with cancer and their families.
And there are letters in the back!

Really nice bit of character work here as the motley group of camp counsellors set off to kids cancer camp.
The first story about a man that buys and older cat that‘s also seen as ugly. The story is cute, but will see if I continue

This was just So Stinkin‘ Cute! What a sweet little manga about two beings finding each other at just the right time and providing joy, love, and comfort to each other. Love this. Would recommend to anyone e wanting some cozy kitty vibes.
I adored this book. (Hey, Kiddo is amazing as well.) JJK is a sweetheart — a wonderful storyteller, artist, and human being. 💖
This was my December #DoubleSpin pick for #BookSpinBINGO.
This is the first volume of a manga series about an older man, recently bereaved, who adopts a cat that no one else seems to want. The story is totally charming and Fukumaru the cat is adorable!

Even more dramatic revelations in this installment! Geoffroy Lambert has the spotlight this time as we learn about his childhood and his complicated relationship with his father. We also observe the healing power of a box of kittens. AGH the kittens were so dang cute!
I read a stack of great picture books this month, which reminds me: Goodreads dropped picture books from their readers‘ choice awards this year. I‘m not sad about that because they tended to have crappy picture books on the voting list anyway.
This a biography about a boy named Jarett. Jarett was in high school when he went to camp for the first time. When he learned that it was for seriously ill kids and families he thought it was going to be sad and overwhelming. He learned that it was a lot more than he expected. He learned more about different kids and their illnesses and how they live with it everyday. He became a safe person that kids could go to and tell their feelings to.
