Hey, Kiddo is the first graphic memoir that I’ve read outside of school. While I wish I read them more frequently, I’ve discovered some great graphic novels in 2018. From his early childhood through his teenager years, Hey, Kiddo portrays Jarrett’s journey growing up in a family that grapples with addiction, finding the people who help you along the way, and creating the art that helps you survive. Jarrett was living with his grandparents- very brash, very loving, very opinionated people who thought they were done raising kids until Jarrett was born. His mother was an addict, in and out of rehab and in and out of Jarett’s life. But Jarrett’s family was much more complicated than that. Summary: In elementary school, Jarrett Krosoczka’s teacher asked his to draw a picture of his mom and dad.
