My sister-in-law told me about this fabulous book!
This four hundred thirty-three page comic book relates Mr. Schulz's life from his perspective as an older gentleman. His reflections are humorous. I loved how the tone reveals his personality. The two authors/illustrators truly bring him to life. The readers will feel like they are chatting with him.
Superbly written and researched!
Considerations before handing to an elementary or junior high reader: Schulz's mom tells him to write smut comic strip/cartoons so they sell, his mom wants to throw stuff a lady who will sing hymns to her, his mom has cancer & dies, his 1st marriage is unhappy, he has an affair while married (not details but he is delighting in a relationship w/ another women), divorce, he has heart issues and then cancer, he searches for God and seems to have a relationship w/ Him but does not consistently go to church in his later years
**Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
