May 8: Vera Brosgol at Politics and Prose

I'm planning on attending tonight.

Vera Brosgol - Plain Jane and The Mermaid - at Conn Ave

Upcoming Event

About the Book: 

In a world that values appearance, Jane has always felt overlooked. After losing her inheritance as well as her parents, she proposes to the vain, but dashing Peter. When he is kidnapped by a nefarious mermaid, she is determined to bring him home. With the help of a mysterious crone and a grumpy seal, can Jane prove to herself, and others, that beauty is only skin deep? Vera Brosgol's newest graphic novel Plain Jane and the Mermaid will sweep readers into a dangerous underwater world.

About the Author: 

Vera Brosgol was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1984 and moved to the United States when she was five. Her first two graphic novels, Anya's Ghost and Be Prepared, were published by First Second, and her debut picture book Leave Me Alone! was a 2017 Caldecott Honor Book. She's also worked on storyboards for several animated films, including Coraline and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her dog Omar, a mere two hours from the sea.
