New York Times bestselling author Lucy Knisley writes about fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood in this emotionally compelling and thought-provoking graphic memoir.

Jeśli wystarczająco ciężko pracujesz, jeśli bardzo czegoś chcesz, jeśli jesteś mądra i utalentowana to możesz wszystko. Poza zajściem w ciążę. Lucy Knisley od zawsze pragnęła zostać matką, ale kiedy nadeszła idealna pora na to, żeby mieć dzieci, poczęcie okazało się znacznie trudniejsze niż wszystko, czego się dotąd podjęła. Po początkowych kłopotach z płodnością nastąpiły poronienia, a gdy wreszcie Lucy udało się zajść w ciążę, jeden po drugim zaczęły objawiać się problemy zdrowotne, które skumulowały się w dramatycznych przeżyciach w trakcie porodu. W swych wzruszających, zabawnych i zaskakująco pouczających wspomnieniach Lucy snuje opowieść o osobistej przemianie, a także przybliża naukę o zdrowiu reprodukcyjnym, przytaczając ciekawe fakty oraz odwołując się do ważnych postaci z historii medycyny i położnictwa. Bez względu na to, czy masz dzieci, planujesz je albo nie chcesz mieć z nimi nic wspólnego, ten komiks otworzy ci oczy i serce.

Als Tochter zweier Gastronomen liebt Lucy Knisley das Essen. In Leckerbissen verbindet sie ihre zwei großen Leidenschaften: das Kochen und das Zeichnen. In zauberhaften Bildern erzählt sie Anekdoten aus ihrem genussvollen Leben und teilt ihre Lieblingsrezepte. »Leckerbissen zelebriert nicht nur die Freude am Kochen oder daran, den Geschmack frischer Physalis auf der Zunge zu entdecken, sondern auch die Freude darüber, das selbst gemachte Essen mit anderen Menschen zu teilen.« The Chicago Tribune

Through delightful drawings, photographs, and musings, twenty-three-year-old Lucy Knisley documents a six-week trip she and her mother took to Paris when each was facing a milestone birthday. With a quirky flat in the fifth arrondissement as their home base, they set out to explore all the city has to offer, watching fireworks over the Eiffel Tower on New Year's Eve, visiting Oscar Wilde's grave, loafing at cafés, and, of course, drinking delicious French milk. What results is not only a sweet and savory journey through the City of Light but a moving, personal look at a mother-daughter relationship.

Exploring the whimsical idea of talking cats, this collection showcases Linney, a charming feline character known for her playful and demanding personality.

This hardcover edition celebrates the unique bond between humans and their feline companions, highlighting the quirks and lovable traits that make cats such treasured pets.

Set against the backdrop of winter at Peapod Farm, the story follows Jen as she navigates her new life away from the city. Alongside her stepsister Andy, they embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the true meaning of family and the bonds that connect them.

In her graphic memoirs, New York Times-best selling cartoonist Lucy Knisley paints a warts-and-all portrait of contemporary, twentysomething womanhood, like writer Lena Dunham (Girls). In the next installment of her graphic travelogue series, Displacement, Knisley volunteers to watch over her ailing grandparents on a cruise. (The book’s watercolors evoke the ocean that surrounds them.) In a book that is part graphic memoir, part travelogue, and part family history, Knisley not only tries to connect with her grandparents, but to reconcile their younger and older selves. She is aided in her quest by her grandfather’s WWII memoir, which is excerpted. Readers will identify with Knisley’s frustration, her fears, her compassion, and her attempts to come to terms with mortality, as she copes with the stress of travel complicated by her grandparents’ frailty.

The community that rides together, thrives together! New York Times bestselling comic creator Lucy Knisley celebrates the joys of biking in this picture book about coming together to build safer streets and a brighter future for all.

There are people on unicycles and tandem bikes, tricycles and recumbents—all kinds of bikes for all kinds of riders. Before long, the bikes outnumber the cars and trucks, taking up more and more of the road until they form a parade of sorts, smiling and popping wheelies, ringing their bells, and celebrating the beautiful community they all share.
