I really enjoyed this quick graphic novel. The older I get and the more of the world I see, I’ve found myself not sure if I want kids anymore. They are expensive, time consuming and a lot of work that I honestly do not think I’m ready for. But kids are also so new to things and ready to learn and the idea of helping shape a person to be good to the world and others seems amazing. That being said, I felt I resonated with a lot of the first story which focused on just not wanting kids. The second story on getting an abortion as the person does not feel ready for a child at the moment was also really great. I read a few comments that said the graphic novel shows parenthood as only negative and not enough of the positive sides of it. I say that this is not what this graphic novel is about, it’s for the people who are told that their childless choice is a weird one and will change with time. It was written for the ones who have made a choice, believe in it and just need some familiar and positive validation that is often not given.
