Apple Crush

Praise for Stepping Stones:

"Knisley's first middle grade graphic novel soars. She perceptively portrays the highs and lows of being a preteen, from the frustration of living with the fallout of adults' decisions to the joy of building new families. This candid, heartwarming look at a child grappling with major changes will resonate with fans of Raina Telgemeier and Svetlana Chmakova and anyone trying to find their place." - SLJ, starred review

"This realistic and relatable story of tween growth by an established adult comics artist is sure to be popular with fans of autobiographical cartoonists such as Raina Telgemeier." - The Horn Book, starred review

"Funny, sweet, and real, Stepping Stones reminds readers that, when families change and grow, taking those first steps together can be not just challenging but rewarding." -Jennifer & Matthew Holm, New York Times bestselling authors of Sunny Side Up & co-creators of the Babymouse series
 
"Lucy Knisley tells a warm, bittersweet story about Jen, a city girl adapting to farm life and her parents' divorce. Stepping Stones doesn't offer easy answers on the struggles the characters deal with, instead letting readers fully inhabit a summer of changes and bucolic beauty." -Kristen Gudsnuk, creator of Making Friends

"Stepping Stones is a relatable story of childhood resilience through change, and how the meanings of 'home' and 'family' grow as we do." -Sarah Searle, creator of Sincerely, Harriet

"Stepping Stones beautifully illustrates finding and CREATING your own space when you are at the whims of the adults in your life." -Kat Leyh, creator of Snapdragon
 
"Stepping Stones is earnest, sweet, and, at times, heart-wrenching. Knisley's naturalistic storytelling and cozy artwork will draw you in and leave you hankering for more time on the farm." -Kayla Miller, creator of Click
