Waves

Chabbert, with her willingness to tell her story and Carole Maurel's gorgeous and at times absolutely haunting artwork, has done an immense service to both those who have suffered loss like hers, and those who haven't, The former can read t"Waves" and be reminded that they aren't alone, and the latter can better understand what it's like to feel such pain and the journey that's always needed to try and recover.

To all fellow librarians out there - this is a powerful addition to make to your graphic novel collections.

A beautiful graphic novel with a heartbreaking story. I'll be recommending this one to our patrons too.

What a beautiful and heartrending read about a difficult, traumatic subject! The illustration is gorgeous and the characters richly developed. Worth every minute of your time and then some. Thank you to the author for sharing her story through this emotionally resonant graphic novel.

When I clicked on this book, I. Ever imaged how much power was contained in the pages. It’s so beautiful, so heart breaking. The illustrations carry so much emotion it’s almost painful. You share the characters hopes, their dreams, and then their profound loss. I nearly lost my son at birth and can’t imagine the devistation I would have felt. Some times I still have nightmares that they couldn’t revive him. I would gladly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from the loss of child, because it shows them that they are not alone, that they can survive without feeling guilty, and even laugh again without losing the precious memory of their child.

I read an ARC through Boom! Studios via NetGalley. Waves is a beautiful graphic novel story about two women struggling to have a baby together and the loss that can sometimes occur. It is real, sad and a bit to short of a story. I immediately embraced both the characters and before I knew it their story was over. It is based on the authors own personal struggles, which is probably what me it so impactful. It is a good read for anyone struggling with the same problems and any parent who knows the weight of wanting to protect your child at all costs. The art was fantastic and the quiet moments on the page without text perfectly reflected the main characters emotions for those scenes. Highly recommended.

With breathtaking art and a heart wrenching story Waves was truly an overwhelming and immensely moving story.
I'm a big sap so I cried during my first read through and then cried again the second time I read it.

I can't recommend this enough, this isn't simply a graphic novel but an experience.
