Alice at Naptime

By (author): Shea Proulx

A beautifully poetic exploration of being both a new mother and an artist, told using her own unique graphic novel and fine art approach.

>When Alice was born her mother only found time to draw her while she napped. Gradually Alice is multiplied in a tapestry of selves, both large and small, while an overarching narrative whispers through the pages, musing on the meeting of former and future selves. At its core, Alice at Naptime tells a universal story, of a parent pining for past freedoms, while simultaneously descending down a rabbit hole of all-encompassing maternal love.

Reviews

“I found myself constantly getting lost in these pages because of all the hidden details, but the real way to experience Alice at Naptime? Read it with your little ones at bedtime – or just read it to yourself whenever you’re feeling nostalgic about the days when your kids were this small and fragile. It’s truly a fascinating work of art and if you are open to literal poetry in motion, then Alice at Naptime is that graphic novel experience for you.” – Kerry Clare, Pickle Me This

“Equal parts poetry and artistic expressionism – Alice at Naptime is a one-sitting read where you’ll find yourself getting lost in Proulx’ one-of-a-kind art style which blends dreamscapes with reality, resulting in an ever-changing ebb and flow of quiet moments frozen in time by her drawings and yet always fluctuating with every turn of the page.” – Keven Skinner, Fox Force Five
