Second Avenue (Bldg. 1, 1st floor), Miami, FL 33132 United States Feeling out of place is a universal experience, and these graphic novels show that the journey to find your own voice is never over, but always worth it, in Tillie Walden’s Spinning, Cecil Castelluci’s Soupy Leaves Home. Sponsored by: Add to Schedule + Google Calendar+ Add to iCalendar Details Date: Sunday, November 19, 2017 Time: 1:30 pm Event Category: Ages 14+ Authors Cecil Castellucci (Castelluci, Cecil) Cecil Castellucci is the author of books and graphic novels for young adults including Boy Proof, The Plain Janes, First Day on Earth, The Year of the Beasts, Tin Star, Stone in the Sky and the Eisner nominated Odd Duck. Her picture book, Grandma's Gloves, won the California Book Award Gold Medal. Her short stories have been published in Strange Horizons, YARN, Tor.com, and various anthologies. She is the Children's Correspondence Coordinator for The Rumpus, a two time Macdowell Fellow and the founding YA Editor at The LA Review of Books. In her illustrated children’s book Soupy Leaves Home (Dark Horse Books), set in 1932, two misfits with no place to call home build a relationship during a train hopping journey from the cold heartbreak of their eastern homes toward the sunny promise of California. Tillie Walden (Walden, Tillie) Tillie Walden is a cartoonist and illustrator from Austin, Texas. Born in 1996, she is a recent graduate from the Center for Cartoon Studies, a comics school in Vermont. Over the course of her time at CCS she published three books with the London based Avery Hill Publishing. She has already received an Eisner Award nomination and two Ignatz Awards. Her first full-length graphic memoir Spinning (First Second), captures what it’s like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know. For ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden’s life. Skating was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But as she switched schools, got into art, and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life. The more Tillie thought about it, the more Tillie realized she’d outgrown her passion―and she finally needed to find her own voice.
