A review by ashylibrarian
Homebody by Theo Parish

emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

5.0

The calming cover vibes are exactly what you will find in the pages of this book. Homebody is a heartwarming graphic memoir where author Theo Parish shares their journey of finding home within themself. The beautiful purple-toned illustrations drive this novel forward as readers join Parish on a path with no set destination. A path that helped them discover themself in an affirming, gentle way. One of the biggest highlights that elevated this graphic memoir for me was that when Parish would talk about negative and intrusive thoughts throughout their journey – thoughts that could make them feel small or make the room feel dark - they would immediately follow them up with affirmations or moments of reflection on self-growth and found family.
