"A sweet coming-of-age graphic novel about an artistic introvert... Teens are sure to relate to this wallflower who blooms—gloriously."
—Kirkus Reviews
Laura Lee Gulledge celebrates the release of Page by Paige with live music, food, and other festivities in what is sure to be a memorable launch for her first graphic novel. Ages 9-14.
About Page by Paige:
Paige Turner has just moved to New York with her family, and she's having some trouble adjusting to the big city. In the pages of her sketchbook, she tries to make sense of her new life, including trying out her secret identity:
artist. As she makes friends and starts to explore the city, she slowly brings her secret identity out into the open, a process that is equal parts terrifying and rewarding.
Laura Lee Gulledge crafts stories and panels with images that are thought-provoking, funny, and emotionally resonant. Teens struggling to find their place can see themselves in Paige's honest, heartfelt story.
