Page by Paige

In Page by Paige, Laura Lee Gulledge crafts a warm, intimate graphic novel about a shy teenager named Paige who moves to New York City and uses her sketchbook to navigate her new surroundings and inner world. Published by Harry N. Abrams in 2011, this single-issue work is a gentle exploration of creativity, self-expression, and finding one's voice through art. Gulledge’s soft, expressive illustrations and heartfelt storytelling make it a resonant, quietly influential entry in the young adult graphic novel landscape, celebrated for its honest portrayal of the artistic process.
