About this item
Told through real-life journals, collages, lists, and drawings, this coming-of-age story illustrates the transformation of an eighteen-year-old girl from a small-town teenager into an independent, city-dwelling college student. Written in an autobiographical style with beautiful artwork, Little Fish shows the challenges of being a young person facing the world on your own for the very first time and the unease - as well as excitement - that comes along with that challenge.
About the Author
Ramsey Beyer grew up on a farm in Michigan before escaping to city life in Baltimore, MD, where she received a BFA in experimental animation at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) . She currently lives in Philadelphia, PA. Ramsey and her sidekick, Rover, live in a row house with five roommates in a very organized living space. She drinks too much coffee, works as a nanny, and loves to keep her hands busy with all sorts of projects. Ramsey spends her time gardening, riding her bike all over Philly, taking Rover for long walks, and spending way too many hours at a time working on comics in coffeeshops. She likes receiving random messages.
Ramsey has been making zines since 2004 when she discovered a love of minicomics through Snakepit, Jeffrey Brown, Nicole Georges, and Clutch. In 2012, she self-published her first novel-length graphic novel, Year One. In 2013, she completed her second novel-length book, Little Fish. Little Fish is being published in September 2013 with Zest Books.
