How better to understand our common humanity than to peek at the inner world of another — and find it so like our own? Soft, coloured pencil illustrations and sparse, personal narrative relate a poignant story of love and loss, freedom and frustration, heartbreak and, in the end, happiness.

I was just about to print a copy of the JOMB booklist to our librarian as my wishlist for our school library but you’ve reviewed so many awesome books since so I can’t wait for the next list to come out :-)
How Smudge Came is another new book for me! It sounds wonderful for taking up all sorts of social issues.
On my list it goes!

P.S. I really like how you paired up Smudge with Dr.White.
Thanks, Vivian,
We’ve updated the JOMB booklist for you. Thanks for the nudge!
