LIGHTER THAN MY SHADOW
Book ID/图书代码： 11320013B61766
English Summary/英文概要： Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast.
But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behavior might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly.
Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the vulnerable, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美丽又令人心碎的绘画回忆录。
像大多数孩子一样，凯蒂爱挑食。她坐在桌子在无声的抗议，她把没吃完的面包藏在卧室，父母要求她把这个面包当早饭吃掉。
生活中的各类情况都会碰撞在一起,正常的行为可能很快就恶化，变成致命的行为。或许有一天你会发现自己只剩下两周的生命。
《轻于我的影子》是一个关于努力奋斗然后痊愈的手绘故事,故事深入描绘了禁忌疾病，揭示那些虚弱的人如何克服软弱，鼓舞所有人相信人类的力量，为了幸福而坚忍。（Pêche）
Awards/获奖情况：It is one of those prejudices that the graphic format is somehow less than writing. Time after time this has been shown to be wrong, pictures can often communicate more than words and here is another example to add to the cannon of graphic novels that deal with serious issues. The content may be personal, but the themes and issues are pertinent to many, how we struggle with growing up, how we deal with our friends and families when we feel ’outside’, how some people are willing to take advantage when we are at our most vulnerable, and how we can learn to live with ourselves and others. The book flows like a novel, but the understanding that this is a true account of Ms. Green’s personal experiences is never far from the surface. A flaw in some graphic novels is that they both tell and show, a trap that has been skilfully avoided here. Katie has truly embraced the medium limiting the text and choosing to show us her inner state through the use of a simple palette with occasional points of emotional colour. This book is truly an extraordinary experience, and what is hard to believe is that this is her first graphic novel. I for one am looking forward to the other stories Katie might tell us through her art.
