About the book

An inspiring and surprisingly comedic tale of loss and acceptance told largely through silent sequential narrative, About Betty s Boob is seminal work from master storytellers V©ro Cazot and Julie Rocheleau. Praise for About Betty's Boob: 'The artwork is vibrant and kinetic, and its depiction of goings-on both fantastical and reality-bound is detailed and eminently appealing. About Betty s Boob is an inspiring, entertaining story of pain and grief transformed into joyful self-acceptance - societal expectations be damned.' - BookPage; '. . . Cazot shows that however offbeat her sensibility, she understands the depth of her character's pain. This frothy book isn't just an attempt to lighten up a serious topic. It's also a surprisingly subtle exploration of how we deal with the weight of both breasts and cancer.' - NPR; 'Winsome, erotic, and hilarious, Betty s adventures break the mold for cancer stories in pulling art and beauty out of tragedy.' - Library Journal, starred review; 'Betty s story is a charmed one, but not quite a fairy tale. Rather, it is a celebration of change, fortitude, and the healing power of art.' - Publishers Weekly.'Tackling loss and questions of femininity and identity from a comedic angle keeps the focus and agency rooted in Betty, not just her cancer or her boob, a fine line that many cancer stories fail to establish.' - Paste
