The Parakeet

Yes, these are tears in my eyes. All throughout this book, I was impressed by the art style that I think expertly captures a child's view of mental illness, and by the coloring that really paints the mood. The episodic nature of each little tale I was less sure about. But damn if this author/illustrator didn't pull it all together in such a poignant and heartbreaking way. This is definitely going onto my list of graphic novels that I would highly recommend, with the disclaimer that the depiction of schizophrenia and its effects might be too much for some readers.
