Hey, Kiddo

Jarrett J. Krosoczka's single-volume graphic memoir, published by Scholastic in 2018, recounts his turbulent childhood growing up with a heroin-addicted mother and a largely absent father, raised instead by his no-nonsense grandparents. Through stark, expressive artwork, Krosoczka weaves together the painful realities of addiction with the lifeline of art and family, creating a deeply personal and unflinching account of finding his own path.
