Vreeland

Award-winning creator Chad Sell’s adult graphic memoir debut is a powerful exploration of the passage of time, recounting the years in which he cared for his aging grandparents.

In 2006, Chad Sell is a young cartoonist trying to find his way—both in comics and in life. But when his grandparents’ health begins to fade, Chad’s life turns in a way he didn’t expect: back to their farm, Vreeland, where he can care for them during their twilight years. Chad’s presence is met with warmth but uncertainty—his grandparents aren’t convinced they need any help. But as the days pass, a fragile yet powerful bond forms between them, providing Chad a fresh new perspective in both life and in art.

Through graphically charged yet tender visuals, Vreeland is a deeply profound memoir decades in the making that examines the importance of making every moment count with the ones we love—and with ourselves.
