Cici's Journal
Cici's Journal: The Adventures of a Writer-in-Training | Joris Chamblain
11 posts | 12 read | 7 to read
Cici dreams of being a novelist. Her favorite subject: people, especially adults. Shes been watching them and taking notes. Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand whats hiding inside them. But now shes discovered something truly strange: an old man who disappears into the forest every Sunday with huge pots of paint in all sorts of colors. What is he up to? Why does he look so sad when he comes back? In a graphic novel interwoven with journal notes, scrapbook pieces, and doodles, Cici assembles clues about the odd and wonderful people shes uncovered, even as she struggles to understand the mundane: her family and friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is one of those long overdue NetGalley books. I reread this one yesterday and loved it! I would recommend this one to children, teachers, child care providers. This is a simple mystery with life lessons. Great book that shows friendships with all its struggles for children.

A really fun graphic novel. I would have loved this even more as a kid.

I took out over 15 graphic novels from the library a few weeks ago, but with CHLA I got a little behind and now I‘m trying to finish reading them on the car ride back to the library 😂 (Loved this one by the way, the best art of the bunch!! So beautiful!!)

I saw this at Kinokuniya Shinjuku and decided to read it on Overdrive. My childhood was just like Cici‘s - a lot of imagination and questions. Like Cici, I used to observe the people around me and created stories in my mind. Sometimes I was too invested in my own story that I couldn‘t differentiate it from reality 🙈 This was a fun, short read. It‘s nice to be reminded of the good ol‘ time

Translated from French. This is a little like Harriet the spy in graphic novel form, expect Cici‘s an inspiring writer. Animals, art, books, libraries, letters, friendship, renovation, writers, lots of things to like about this one. I‘ve seen at least one online conversation bring up the fact that Erica is labeled the complainer as being possibly racist.
