*Signed Bookplate*

Debut graphic novel memoir by award-winning Illustrator, Agnes Lee, for fans of Harmony Becker, Molly Knox Ostertag, and Kate Beaton

Day 1

Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map – it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what’s that…?

And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over. Here in this book, readers travel with one Korean American girl, Kit, on her journey, while also spending time with her family and friends left behind.

Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward.

Ryan R. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate was the reason I grabbed this, and it’s tucked in perfectly without damaging the cover. Agnes Lee’s linework in the memoir is so delicate and expressive that I caught myself slowing down just to stare at each page.

Andrew ★★★★★

The layout flows so effortlessly from panel to panel that I read the whole thing in one sitting, and the way Agnes Lee captures the quiet weight of grief feels almost too real. That signed bookplate made it a little more special for my shelf.

Sofia S. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate was a lovely touch, and the book itself arrived in perfect condition. Agnes Lee's art is so expressive that even the quietest panels carry the emotional weight of the story beautifully.
