ABOUT THE BOOK

Raina Telgemeier is the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning cartoonist who has been at the forefront of today’s middle-grade graphic novel boom and has published several beloved books that are widely regarded as modern classics. The idea to create FacingFeelings was born from an exhibition featuring Raina’s work that was shown at The Ohio State University’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.
This book explores how Raina developed into a legendary cartoonist, looks at the artists who influenced her work, and considers why her art resonates so strongly with readers of all ages. Rare artwork, an interview, special commentary from Raina, and more are included!
