About This Book

A new updated paperback edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic memoir about a father dealing with the sudden death of his young daughter.Tom Hart's two-year-old daughter Rosalie was a bundle of energy: always running, exploring, and fascinated by the world around her.But one night, when Tom went to check on her in her crib, he found her silent, still, and unbreathing. Without a sign that anything had been wrong, she had passed away in her sleep. This touching and beautiful graphic novel memoir tells the heartbreaking story of the untimely death of the author's young daughter, and the solace that Hart finds in nature, philosophy, literature, and art. Rosalie Lightning is a graphic masterpiece chronicling a father's undying love, and a tribute to much-missed baby girl.This new high quality paperback edition of a beloved classic features a new foreword from bestselling author Lucy Knisley, along with a letter from Tom Hart giving a view into the role the book has played in his grief process, and how he has found a way forward into life.
