“Feels like reading a love story that doesn't quite know it's a love story yet, and a success story that doesn't know it’s made it.” —Emma Straub, New York Times–bestselling author of This Time TomorrowAward-winning, beloved children's book author and illustrator Carson Ellis makes a stunning adult debut with an illustrated memoir that evocatively captures a specific cultural moment of the early 2000s and in her journey as an artist. In January 2001, the young artist Carson Ellis moved into a warehouse in Portland, Oregon, with a group of fellow artists. For the first week she lived there, she kept a detailed diary full of dry observations, mordant wit, hijinks with friends (including her future husband, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy), and turn-of-the-millennium cultural touchstones. Now, Ellis has richly illustrated this two-decade-old journal with extraordinary new paintings in the signature style that has made her an award-winning picture book author today. This beautiful volume offers a snapshot of a bygone era, a meticulous re-creation of quotidian frustrations and small, meaningful moments, and a meditation on what it means both to start your journey as an artist and to look back at that beginning many years later.

Hvad er et hjem? Det kan være et hus på landet eller en lejlighed i byen. Det kan være et mytisk slot på havets bund eller en rumstation på månen. Eller, hvis man er ganske lille, måske en gammel sko på en mark. I Carson Ellis' billedbogsdebut HJEM kommer vi hele verden rundt og ser på hjem, indtil vi lander i hendes eget atelier ... og får øje på detaljer, der får os til at begynde forfra igen.Carson Ellis er også kendt fra billedbogen Ma æ dat? og har et særligt talent for at få liv frem i ellers afdæmpede palet af farver, og ikke mindst for at lave billedbøger, hvor beskueren (lille som stor) slet ikke kan lade være med at tænke med. Hvem bor fx i den underjordiske hule? Hvad er forskelle og ligheder på de mange hjem i Ellis' bog? Hvordan er dit eget hjem?

This book is Carson's heart and mind on paper. Carson faces tragedy, loss, love, and sexuality confusion. Follow on the journey to how they found peace through the beautiful art of words. And always remember, recovery is possible.
