Living with Viola

by Rosena Fung

Kids' Book of the Week , January 10, 2022

We can all use a reminder to be gentle with ourselves, and Living with Viola by Rosena Fung showcases this in a beautifully illustrated middle grade graphic novel. Lovable sixth-grader Livy Tong struggles with social pressure, friends, and the negative voice in her head (personified in the imaginary character Viola). Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Victoria Jamieson, Living with Viola is a great kid-friendly message about living with and managing anxiety. (Ages 8 to 12)
