Hey Kiddo by Jarrett J Krosoczka


This is a brilliant graphic novel about his life story.  Told in a moving way.  However there is a lot of  for mature reader moments.  His mom did drugs and was an addict.  His grandparents loved him but they could be real characters.  There is some drinking and smoking as well.  I am interested in getting this for my library.  I would say read before you get for your library but remember we have lots o students who are being raised by grand parents and there are not that many books about this situation for teens.  It's a good read.  Also a very good TedTalk  https://www.ted.com/talks/jarrett_j_krosoczka_how_a_boy_became_an_artist?language=en#t-561626
