Stevenson's graphic memoir is about her journey as an artist and a human, especially her college years and the years of launching her career after. I really enjoyed reading about the ways that Stevenson overcame challenges on her path to love and self-acceptance, personally and professionally. Her memoir shares reflections from the years that took her from art student, to award-winning graphic novel artist, to working with the rebooted animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. I'm not sure that this one would hit as hard with those unfamiliar with Stevenson's work, but it definitely shares a message of loving and believing in yourself.

I was really excited for this book because I have enjoyed a lot of Stevenson's work in the past, but I feel a bit underwhelmed with this book. I was hoping for more new material than what we got. The art is good though.

A wonderful memoir about ND Stevenson's journey in life and in art, creating comics and being an artist. I think a lot of this was originally published on Tumblr, but I hadn't read it before, so I thoroughly enjoyed it! Especially with all of the success Nimona saw in the last year.

A simple but moving graphic memoir by ND Stevenson, spanning 8 years starting in the beginning of his creative career. We follow him through his identity and mental health struggles, which he outlines in a vulnerable and very relatable way. Before starting this, I didn't know he worked on one of my favourite animated shows, Shera, so it was a nice surprise to see that connection.
