I Miss My Mommy: Portraits of Orphaned Adults Exhibit at Deer Park Branch of Toronto Public Library by Alison Garwood-Jones

: I MISS MY MOMMY drawing exhibition
: Toronto Public Library – Deer Park Branch, 40 St. Clair Ave. East (TTC stop: St. Clair)
: The entire month of April

Head to the magazine section near the front entrance. I’ve created a story corner for adults, with a very light touch of Pee Wee Herman.

The exhibition shows 20 reproductions from my illustrated novel, I MISS MY MOMMY, an award-winning book that tracks how grieving adults look and act. Just so you know, the Five Stages of Grief doesn’t even begin to cover it.

My goal has always been the same: establish a close relationship with the reader/viewer by showing them private emotions or behaviours they know well, but weren’t expecting to see. You will either laugh or experience a feeling of camaraderie.

Spoiler alert: None of us are getting out of here alive.

Thank you TPL for hosting this show and for carrying my book (paperback and digital).
