*A dazzling, humorous, and highly personal portrayal of neurodivergence from a leading voice in mental health comics.

Eisner Award nominated author Bex Ollerton—known as @Schnumn to her thousands of followers—is a talented comic artist who feels energized and courageous on some days and exhausted and emotionally depleted on others. In Lavender Clouds, she translates her experiences with Autism, ADHD, and mental health into a series of colorful, emotionally resonant comics that tell stories of neurodiversity and resilience.

With a tone that is sharp but always sensitive, this debut book collection describes the many insights and strategies the author has learned on her journey to self-acceptance. Among the many topics addressed in the book are the folly of “foolproof” organization strategies, the perils of burnout, the joy of small hopes, and the importance of growing at your own pace and on your own path

 

Breathtaking in its artistic range and emotional truth, Lavender Clouds offers an enlightening and uplifting read for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or other issues related to mental health.*

Kokoelma pääsääntöisesti yhden sivun pieniä sarjakuvia, jotka käsittelevät tekijän omakohtaisia kokemuksia ja oivalluksia mielen ja sen terveyden kirjolta. Monissa kohtaa löytyy varmasti usealle lukijalle jotain samaistumispintaa. Ja toisia taas tämä voi auttaa ymmärtämään, millaista on elää näiden "ongelmien" kanssa.

Kuvitus on symppistä ja värit toimivat.
