This Queer Graphic Novel Will Hit You Right in the Feels

Luisa: Now and Then is a queer, transformative tale about self-acceptance and sexuality, written and illustrated by French artist Carole Maurel and adapted by national bestseller Mariko Tamaki, Caldecott Award–winning creator of This One Summer.

A single and disillusioned photographer has a chance encounter with her lost teenage self who has miraculously traveled into the future. Together, they both unwrap a singular moment in both their pasts where they nearly fell in love with another girl in their youth. A combination of shame and their mother's disdain cast a pall over both their lives leading to a confrontation with their mother where they get closure. Both women ultimately discover who they really are, finding the courage to live life by being true to themselves.
