About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are constantly getting into trouble for things that were not exactly their fault. This deadpan graphic novel captures the surreal and often frustrating logic of childhood, where a simple decision can quickly spiral into an absurd predicament. It is perfect for children who process the world through a lens of humor and creativity, providing a mirror for their own occasional social clumsiness. K's adventures involve navigating a visit to his grandparents and reuniting with an old friend, all while dealing with the hilarious misunderstandings that follow him everywhere. The story normalizes the feeling of being 'the kid who messes up' and replaces shame with laughter. Gary Clement's minimalist art style and dry wit make this an approachable read for children aged 7 to 12, especially those who prefer visual storytelling and relatable, everyday absurdity.
