After each meeting, he would create a one-page comic strip based on what she had said. Esther's Notebooks gathers 156 of those strips, spanning Esther's life from ages nine through twelve, giving us a delightful look into the daily dramas of this thoughtful, intelligent, and high-spirited girl. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian \u003c\/i\u003enoted: \"Each page of \u003ci\u003eEsther's Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e is self-contained--there's usually a neat punchline--but read them all, and you come to see that Sattouf has drawn a portrait of a generation: their hopes, dreams and cultural references; the way that their personalities, backgrounds--many of the children portrayed have parents who are immigrants--and preconceived ideas about sexuality begin to play out even before they've begun secondary school. The result is a bit like a cartoon version of Michael Apted's landmark TV series, \u003ci\u003e Up.\u003c\/i\u003e These funny, well-observed comics are fantastically daring.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRIAD SATTOUF\u003c\/b\u003e is a bestselling cartoonist and filmmaker who grew up in Syria and Libya and now lives in Paris.
