Stitch Head: The Graphic Novel

Reach for this book when your child feels like their hard work goes unnoticed or when they feel like an 'extra' in their own social circle. Stitch Head is the first creation of a mad scientist, now living in the shadows of a castle filled with newer, flashier monsters. While he lacks the size or strength of his peers, his loyalty and quiet competence keep the castle running. It is a story about finding value in oneself even when you are not the center of attention. This graphic novel adaptation uses spooky, atmospheric art and slapstick humor to explore themes of belonging and identity. It is perfect for children aged 7 to 10 who enjoy 'creepy-cute' aesthetics but might be intimidated by text-heavy novels. Parents will appreciate how the story validates the feelings of children who are naturally more reserved or who take on a caregiving role within their peer groups.
