Summary

One morning, a teenage boy wakes to find that he has grown to the size of a giant. Inspired by the journey of the author’s younger brother, this wordless wonder of a book follows the experience of a family as one of their own faces a life-threatening illness. As his health declines, can the family remain resilient on his long journey through treatment?

Deeply moving and tender, with gorgeous ball-point illustrations, Mollie Ray’s debut graphic novel is a resonant story of empathy, healing and hope.

Critic Reviews

Wonderfully unique, existing as a ‘silent’ comic without any dialogue, purely conveying emotion through the feelings inspired by the artwork. There’s a hopefulness at the centre of it that is wonderfully refreshing.

Critic Reviews

Beautiful . . . A gloriously tender and empathetic book that manages to say things for which words are incapable about family, illness, courage, anguish and recovery.

Foyles, 'TOP TEN READS for June'

Critic Reviews

A really powerful and affecting debut and the launch of a singular new talent in Mollie Ray.

Critic Reviews

Beautifully drawn [Mollie Ray] relates a transformational, deeply personal crisis into a universal parable of fear, hope and in this case joyous resolution all without saying a word ... A moving and most remarkable achievement.

Critic Reviews

A wonderful, moving, original book. It teaches us a new visual language for love, for worry and for family. It will reach and touch many hearts.

Critic Reviews

My favourite kind of comic: saying more with eloquent silence than words can ever manage. Mollie Ray’s exquisitely rendered drawings guide us tenderly through this tale of family, courage, fear and joy.
