The Fire Never Goes Out by Noelle Stevenson

The Fire Never Goes Out

by Noelle Stevenson

From ND Stevenson, the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator of Nimona, comes a captivating, honest illustrated memoir that finds him turning an important corner in his creative journey—and inviting readers along for the ride.

In a collection of essays and personal mini-comics that span eight years of his young adult life, author-illustrator ND Stevenson charts the highs and lows of being a creative human in the world.

Whether it’s hearing the wrong name called at his art school graduation ceremony or becoming a National Book Award finalist for his debut graphic novel, Nimona, ND captures the little and big moments that make up a real life, with a wit, wisdom, and vulnerability that are all his own.

Named one of Bank Street College of Education's Best Children’s Books of the Year!

I loved Stevenson's work prior to this, but reading her story is powerful. Definitely a must-read for anyone struggling with their gender identity or mental illness.
