This event is free and the public is warmly welcome to attend. RSVP (below) is appreciated as seating is limited. The Yankee Bookshop will be on hand with copies of Tillie Walden’s books. As new member Mia gets to know her team, the story flashes back to her pivotal year in boarding school, where she fell in love with a mysterious new student. Walden’s work is celebrated for its intimate and authentic portrayal of adolescence that often explores queer themes with beautifully crafted images paired with realistically emotional text. Entertainment Weekly named her as one of “the most essential graphic novelists of her generation.” Throughout the deepest reaches of space, a crew rebuilds beautiful and broken-down structures, painstakingly putting the past together. Walden is currently working on a graphic novel trilogy and, with musicians Tegan and Sara, two books for middle-grade readers. She has published other graphic novels including,”On a Sunbeam” (originally a science fiction webcomic) and “Are you Listening?” She collaborated with Emma Hunsinger on a picture book for children, “My Parents Won’t Stop Talking. Walden, a graduate of and currently a professor at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, won the Eisner Award for best reality-based work for her graphic novel memoir “Spinning” at the age of 22 in 2018. Saturday, May 20-Woodstock-On Saturday, Tillie Walden, recently named the 5th Cartoonist Laureate of Vermont, will appear at the Norman Williams Public Library in Woodstock.
