Description
In this poignant graphic memoir, Caldecott Medalist Allen Say recounts his formative years as an aspiring artist during the tumultuous era of World War II. Shunned by his father for his artistic ambitions, Say found an unlikely mentor and spiritual father in Noro Shinpei, Japan's preeminent cartoonist. Through rigorous training and profound self-reflection amidst global conflict, Say grappled with his heritage and the complexities of human motivation. This deeply personal narrative, enriched with watercolor paintings, original cartoons, and historical photographs, offers an inspiring exploration of mentorship, identity, and the enduring power of art.
