Contemporary Conversations with Jarrett J. Krosoczka- Virtual

A True Story about Growing Up in a Family Facing Addiction

New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka will talk about his young adult graphic memoir Hey, Kiddo.

A National Book Award Finalist, Hey, Kiddo narrates and illustrates the author’s childhood living with his grandparents, while his mother is in and out of rehab dealing with addiction and his father is a mystery completely absent from his life. With candor and humor, Krosoczka describes his journey growing up in a family coping with addiction and how his art helped him endure and survive. This program may deal with some difficult topics, like addiction and other issues. Parental guidance is advised.
