Snowbird illustrates the precarious moment of being completely overwhelmed by a broken heart, 2010's devastating BP oil spill, and the complicated politics of being a white artist in a poor black neighborhood succumbing to gentrification in New Orleans. Written with brutal emotional honesty, as well as easy to understand illustrated walk-throughs of ten dollar words like "gentrification," Snowbird shares the intersection of political awareness and emotional vulnerability. Let's feel our feelings and learn at the same time!
