“For one city-kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop, it seems like its finally time to find her place in her new blended family while settling in for the winter!”—Random House Graphic  

Lucy Knisley is the prolific and award-winning creator of many graphic memoirs covering a range of topics, including travel (French Milk, An Age of License, and Displacement), her wedding (Something New), her pregnancy and giving birth (Kid Gloves), and being a new parent (Go to Sleep/I Miss You). Her food memoir, Relish, was a New York Times bestseller.

She has also published a line of children’s books, including the picture book, You Are New, which was selected by the New York Times as one of the top 25 children’s books of 2019. Lucy has also contributed to several anthologies such as, Nursery Rhyme Comics, I Saw You…, The Letter Q: Queer Writers’ Notes to Their Younger Selves, Femme Magnifique, and most recently, Noise Makers: 25 Women Who Raised Their Voices & Changed the World.

When she’s not making comics, Lucy occasionally teaches and lectures on comics at conventions, after-school programs, camps, and workshops for adults and kids alike.
