Apprendre à tomber

In this poignant 2019 graphic novel from Éditions Sarbacane, Mikaël Ross writes and illustrates a deeply human story about a young man with a learning disability navigating the transition from a sheltered institution to independent living. The series, which began as a single, self-contained volume, is celebrated for its warm, empathetic portrayal of its protagonist's journey toward self-reliance and belonging. Ross's expressive, cartoonish art softens the weighty themes, making this a quietly essential work about neurodiversity and the courage it takes to start over.
