No quería irse a vivir a una granja con su madre y la nueva pareja de esta, Walter. No quería separarse de sus amigos y de su padre. Y por si aprender todas esas tareas nuevas que le toca hacer en la granja no fuera suficiente, tiene que aguantar a Andy la perfecta. Además de limpiar el gallinero, aprender a tratar con los clientes en el mercado local y echar de menos todo lo que tenía en su antigua vida, Jen deberá enfrentarse a las inseguridades que le produce tener una familia nueva... y buscar su sitio en ella.

This middle grade graphic novel explores family, friendship, and change! Jen is just getting used to her life on Peapod Farm with her new stepsisters, Andy and Reese. But when the school year starts, there are even more changes in store for her. Jen has to navigate new friends and new challenges--but at least she''ll have Andy with her, right?

C’est à contre coeur que Jen vient d’emménager à la campagne, avec sa mère et son nouveau beau-père.

Autant d’épreuves que Jen devra surmonter pour parvenir à trouver sa place dans une nouvelle vie de famille...

Depuis toujours, Lucy est animée par un rêve d’enfant. Ce désir vit en elle, mais les choses ne se passent pas toujours comme prévu... L’autrice raconte ici ses attentes et son parcours parfois difficile de future mère, avec la douleur d’une fausse couche, ainsi que son évolution personnelle, celle de son compagnon et de leurs proches au cours de ces 9 mois de grossesse entre drame et joie. Dans ce récit intime, sincère et très documenté, l’autrice confie ses doutes et ses espoirs tout en proposant des observations pratiques. C’est aussi toute la dimension culturelle de la grossesse qu’interroge le témoignage de Lucy Knisley, des superstitions les plus absurdes jusqu’à certaines idées reçues qui perdurent encore, souvent dans le but de dominer autant que possible le corps des femmes.

This contemporary middle-grade graphic novel about family and belonging from New York Times bestselling author Lucy Knisley is a perfect read for fans of Awkward and Be Prepared. Jen is used to not getting what she wants. So suddenly moving the country and getting new stepsisters shouldn''t be too much of a surprise. Jen did not want to leave the city. She did not want to move to a farm with her mom and her mom''s new boyfriend, Walter. She did not want to leave her friends and her dad. Most of all, Jen did not want to get new "sisters," Andy and Reese. As if learning new chores on Peapod Farm wasn''t hard enough, having to deal with perfect-at-everything Andy might be the last straw for Jen. Besides cleaning the chicken coop, trying to keep up with the customers at the local farmers'' market, and missing her old life, Jen has to deal with her own insecurities about this new family . . . and where she fits in. New York Times bestselling author Lucy Knisley brings to life a story inspired from her own childhood in an amazing journey of unlikely friends, sisters, and home. "Funny, sweet, and real." -Jennifer & Matthew Holm, co-creators of the bestselling Babymouse series "This book is gorgeous. Highly recommended." -Kristen Gudsnuk, creator of Making Friends

A book about a baby who doesn''t want to go to sleep. By Lucy Knisley.

An irresistable and hilarious collection of New York Times bestselling author Lucy Knisley''s cartoons about new motherhood. Lucy Knisley is one of the great memoirists of the graphic novel format. Following the completion of her pregnancy memoir Kid Gloves (and the birth of her baby), Lucy embarked on a new project: documenting new motherhood in short, spontaneous little cartoons, which she posted on her Instagram, and which quickly gained her a huge cult following among other moms. The best of those wildly popular little cartoons are collected in this adorable gift book, Go to Sleep (I Miss You), a perfect read for expecting parents, new parents, and anyone who loves funny, relatable comics storytelling.

A world of being new is waiting for little ones and the grown-ups who love them in this warm and funny book perfect for baby showers. From napping to crying, cuddling to playing, this book introduces the world with humor, honesty, and unmitigated sweetness. Award-winning author and artist Lucy Knisley celebrates the joys of having—and being!—a baby in this timeless celebration of new beginnings and the transformative power of love.

A New York Times bestseller If you work hard enough, if you want it enough, if you’re smart and talented and “good enough,” you can do anything. Except get pregnant. Her whole life, Lucy Knisley wanted to be a mother. But when it was finally the perfect time, conceiving turned out to be harder than anything she’d ever attempted. Fertility problems were followed by miscarriages, and her eventual successful pregnancy plagued by health issues, up to a dramatic, near-death experience during labor and delivery. This moving, hilarious, and surprisingly informative memoir, Kid Gloves, not only follows Lucy’s personal transition into motherhood but also illustrates the history and science of reproductive health from all angles, including curious facts and inspiring (and notorious) figures in medicine and midwifery. Whether you’ve got kids, want them, or want nothing to do with them, there’s something in this graphic memoir to open your mind and heart.

First Second''s graphic novel sampler for Winter 2019, including excerpts from award-winning authors and artists such as Gene Luen Yang, Box Brown, Ellen T. Crenshaw, and more!

Artista, jovem e solteira, Lucy Knisley nunca imaginou que iria escapar do inverno frio de Nova York a bordo de um navio de cruzeiro para o Caribe. Mas quando seus avós idosos planejam uma fuga tropical, Lucy decide acompanhá-los, e nada sai como ela esperava. Durante os sete dias do cruzeiro, Lucy descobre mais sobre si mesma e sua família do que aprendeu durante uma vida inteira. Lidando com a decadência física e mental dos avós que tanto adora, ela é obrigada a confrontar seus próprios medos, anseios e expectativas, navegando pelas delicadas nuances que compõem as relações duradouras, a velhice, o amor e o cuidado. Guiada pelo diário do avô, Lucy desvenda suas próprias raízes, e suas férias acabam se transformando em uma viagem de autodescobrimento. Deslocamento é uma revelação tocante do amor e da compaixão capazes de conectar gerações em circunstâncias inesperadas; cheia de humor, sensibilidade e graça.

In 2010, Lucy and her long-term boyfriend John broke up. Three long, lonely years later, John returned to New York, walked into Lucy''s apartment, and proposed. This is not that story. It is the story of what came after: The Wedding. DIY maven Lucy Knisley was fascinated by American wedding culture . . . but also sort of horrified by it. So she set out to plan and execute the adorable DIY wedding to end all adorable DIY weddings. And she succeeded. This graphic novel, Something New--clocking in at almost 300 pages of humor, despair, and eternal love--is the story of how Lucy built a barn, invented a whole new kind of photo booth, and managed to turn an outdoor wedding on a rainy day into a joyous (though muddy) triumph.

In her graphic memoirs, New York Times-best selling cartoonist Lucy Knisley paints a warts-and-all portrait of contemporary, twentysomething womanhood, like writer Lena Dunham (Girls). In the next installment of her graphic travelogue series, Displacement, Knisley volunteers to watch over her ailing grandparents on a cruise. (The book’s watercolors evoke the ocean that surrounds them.) In a book that is part graphic memoir, part travelogue, and part family history, Knisley not only tries to connect with her grandparents, but to reconcile their younger and older selves. She is aided in her quest by her grandfather’s WWII memoir, which is excerpted. Readers will identify with Knisley’s frustration, her fears, her compassion, and her attempts to come to terms with mortality, as she copes with the stress of travel complicated by her grandparents’ frailty.

Written during a European book tour promoting her work, a cartoonist depicts the new experiences, romantic encounters, and cute cats she met as she visited historic cities across the continent.

Lucy aime la nourriture. Sa mère est chef et son père fin gastronome. Cette jeune et talentueuse auteure a donc une obsession : la cuisine ! Gourmet mais pas glouton, Délices est l''ouvrage idéal pour tous ceux qui ont déjà voué une passion démesurée à leur sandwich !

When Fionna the Human rescues a feral flame boy from a pack of wild fire lions, it starts her on a quest she will never forget.

Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In her forthright, thoughtful, and funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe—many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy''s original inventions. A welcome read for anyone who ever felt more passion for a sandwich than is strictly speaking proper, Relish is a graphic novel for our time: it invites the reader to celebrate food as a connection to our bodies and a connection to the earth, rather than an enemy, a compulsion, or a consumer product.

What results is not only a sweet and savory journey through the City of Light but a moving, personal look at a mother-daughter relationship.
