Drawn Onward
In this enthralling and emotional palindrome picture book by Daniel Nayeri and Matt Rockefeller, a young boy grieving the loss of his mother embarks on a lushly fantastical adventure that illuminates what remains when our loved ones are gone.
All alone
He was not so brave...
His heart needed to know
The answer.
In this lyrical, heartfelt story, a young boy who's lost all hope braves the dark forest to ask, "Mom, were you glad you were Mom?" Gorgeously illustrated, Drawn Onward gently guides readers through the depths of grief and provides comfort and hope to those who seek answers when it feels like all is lost.

About the Author
Daniel Nayeri likes to read things backward even when it doesn't make sense to do so. He is the author of several books for young readers, including Everything Sad Is Untrue (A True Story), winner of the Printz Award, and The Many Assassinations of Samir, The Seller of Dreams, winner of the Newbery Honor. He loves palindromes and pantoums equally, but neither as much as his wife and son.
Matt Rockefeller is a visual storyteller inspired by adventuring in the mountains, interpretive dancing with friends, and pondering the many wonders of the universe. In addition to drawing and writing comics, he creates artwork for TV and film animation. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his family including a little dog that may or may not be a fox.
