"Compelling, disturbing, yet surprisingly easy to read and more than meets the high standard set by the widely praised Fun Home. With some sexual issues; highly recommended for older teens up." (Library Journal, 7/09).
"Prolific, Caldecott Medal-winning Small makes the leap to the graphic novel with a spare and unflinching memoir.... Like other 'important' graphic works it seems destined to sit beside-think no less than Maus-this is a frequently disturbing, pitch-black funny, ultimately cathartic story whose full impact can only be delivered in the comics medium, which keeps it palatable as it reinforces its appalling aspects. If there's any fight left in the argument that comics aren't legitimate literature, this is just the thing to enlighten the naysayers." (Booklist, 7/1/09)

We design sustainable, community libraries - new, remodels, or additions that were built in phases as money became available (and we helped raise the money). We won the highest award for library design, the national AIA/ALA Award of Merit; our Vail Public Library was the unanimous choice of both the librarians and architects on the jury. We design both the building and the interiors, and have acted as the library consultant for other architects.
