In planning for a recent narrative medicine workshop, the residency program chose this graphic novel for teenagers—a book with pictures and easy to read—as it would be a good fit for busy physicians and trainees. We were rewarded with a remarkable and worthy book in Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s “Hey, Kiddo: How I lost My Mother, Found My Father and Dealt with Family Addiction.” The inspiring graphic memoir is the personal experience of a teenager adopted and raised by his grandparents because his mother was incarcerated and struggling with heroin addiction.
