About this Event
From acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck comes a validating and heartfelt feelings book like none other.
This exploration of mixed and wide-ranging emotions is presented in illustrated vignettes and beautifully articulate text. Each spread portrays a specific scenario involving a child and a phrase that reminds readers (young and old) that not all feelings can be summed up in a single word, or occur singularly. The text “Mostly happy but a little sad” accompanies a child leaving for the beach, but waving goodbye to his dog. “Like I’m trying hard to have fun” shows a child at a loud party, covering their ears. In her trademark style and funny-because-it’s-real approach, Finck has created a deeply insightful book on feelings that validates the way we all experience the world.
Liana Finck is a cartoonist living in Brooklyn. She is the author of Let There Be Light, Passing for Human, and Excuse Me; a children’s book, You Broke It!; and a memoir about motherhood, How to Baby. She is a regular contributor to The New Yorker. She is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship, and a Wallant Award.
Books may be preordered here.
