I was an elementary librarian for 6 years before I came up to the high school and I loved all of his books, whether he wrote or illustrated them--why, because you could see that he was a happy author/illustrator. Now that I have read Stitches, I really love Small's redemption through his art. Wow, just finished this searing, haunting graphic biography and was so happy that Smalls triumphs!
