*Blankets by Craig Thompson*

Blankets by Craig Thompson - Art by Craig Thompson - Published by Top Shelf Productions.

Blankets is my personal favorite graphic novel, if you grew up going to church and being a member of a youth group you may find this novel extremely relatable. I found myself captivated by the authors words and the beautiful illustrations. The book rings a tone of truth as the character progresses in age and the story is best described as subtle genius.
