Two years ago, Knisley’s first work of fiction Stepping Stones, the first book in a trilogy aimed at middle grade readers, was published by Random House Graphic. Over the years, Knisley’s work has reached an even wider audience through her bite sized Instagram comics which document her experiences raising a young child (called Pal in her comics, a pseudonym chosen to protect his privacy and short for “palindrome”).
While she often delves into heavy topics, her books are never intimidating- unless you’d find talking to a friend about their recent troubles intimidating. Her instinct for portraying with style even the most mundane details of her life and her warm confessional tone makes her cartooning intimate and interesting. Lucy Knisley has been a preeminent name in non-fiction comics for more than a decade.
