Book Description:
Through delightful drawings, photographs, and musings, twenty-three-year-old Lucy Knisley documents a six-week trip she and her mother took to Paris when each was facing a milestone birthday. With a quirky flat in the fifth arrondissement as their home base, they set out to explore all the city has to offer, watching fireworks over the Eiffel Tower on New Year's Eve, visiting Oscar Wilde's grave, loafing at cafés, and, of course, drinking delicious French milk. What results is not only a sweet and savory journey through the City of Light but a moving, personal look at a mother-daughter relationship.

Lucy Knisley's graphic novel, "French Milk",is honest and funny and charming and I enjoyed it immensely. I can't wait to read her next graphic novel and I'm planning to explore the genre now.

I wish that I'd know ahead of time this was not an actual READING book. This was more like a comic book. I ended up just flipping through the pages & looking at her drawings instead of reading the comments on the page.
