    Story and art by Riad Sattouf.

    The hilarious, heartbreaking, and painfully true life of a girl growing up in Paris, from the author of The Arab of the Future.

    Every week, the comic book artist Riad Sattouf has a chat with his friend's 10-year old daughter, Esther. She tells him about her life, her family, her school, her friends, her hopes, her dreams and her fears. And then he creates a one-page comic strip based on what she says.

    This book is a collection of 156 of those strips, comprising the first three volumes as they appeared in Europe, spanning Esther's life from age 10 to 12.

    Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 168 pages, full color.

    Cover price $30.00.
