My Heart in Braille by Joris Chamblain, Anne-Lise Nalin

This was a short and sweet graphic novel about Victor and Marie-Jo. Victor is brilliant when it comes to vintage cars, but struggles in school and often says the wrong things. I’m pretty sure he has undiagnosed ADHD or a learning disability. His classmate, Marie, starts helping him study and everyone sees an improvement in him. Marie has a secret she’s entrusted to Victor, and he’s happy to return the favor. They also bonded over music; Victor is in a rock band with his friends and Marie plays the cello. Their friendship was so sweet and I loved watching it develop into more. The artwork was truly beautiful and I felt that it captured the heartwarming essence of the story very well. The only downside was how short the story was, and the ending felt abrupt.
