A Bubble Board book
by Genevieve Castree
Board book
Description
Drawn near the end of her life, surrounded by the nature and calm of Anacortes, Washington, Genevieve Castree drew one final gift for her two-year-old daughter, the stunning board book A Bubble.
Leaving behind a last note for a young child is an incomprehensible task; Castree responds with grace and subtlety.
Using precise, exquisite drawings of herself and her daughter, Castree depicts changes in their daily routines as a greater story unfolds.
Mother and daughter float from page to page, encased in a bubble that protects them from the outside world.
A contemplation of love and loss, A Bubble is a lasting declaration, a final memory, a comfort for others experiencing grief, and a beautiful archive of one of the world s most talented cartoonist s final artistic achievements.
Known for her hauntingly beautiful music (under the names O PAON and Woelv), engrossingly detailed album illustrations, and delicate, subtle comics, Castree s previous graphic novel, Susceptible, shows her rare ability to handle difficult personal material with intimacy and honesty.
A Bubble acts as an extension of her life story and the final chapter of a beautifully full existence.
Castree passed away in 2016 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
