Graphic memoirs are oftentimes the most interesting and thought-provoking books I come across. I love learning about the authors’ personal lives & experiences. And, DEAR DAD, GROWING UP WITH A PARENT IN PRISON- AND HOW WE STAYED CONNECTED,  is a powerful #mglit coming-of-age graphic novel memoir that shares how Jay Jay Patton’s life was impacted growing up with a parent in prison. DEAR DAD is Jay Jay Patton’s empowering tale brought to life by author Jay’Aina (Jay Jay) Patton, along with authors Kiara Valdez & Markia Jenai! It is a story of how Jay Jay and her dad were able to develop a powerful father/daughter bond and create Photo Patch -a life-changing application that connects children to incarcerated parents. Because, as Jay Jay says: “it’s not a privilege for a kid to be able to talk to their parent. It’s a right.” Watch my review & be sure to read DEAR DAD! 5 STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
