Sabrina Kleckner

Hi #PortfolioDay ✌️I wish I could share more new art but everything is a WIP atm😭anyways I make comics and they take a really long time

“Heartwarming and charming—readers will be taken in by Maisie’s list to change her life and enjoy the ride as she learns that life, college, and even creativity cannot be defined or reinvented by a list. It’s a testament to starting over, not by force but by choice, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with that decision. Throughout her highs and lows, readers will cheer as Maisie finds just exactly who she is and, more importantly, who she wants to be.” —Gretchen Schreiber, author of Ellie Haycock Is Totally Normal

Pride Month Spotlight The Art of Running Away by Sabrina Kleckner

A 2023 ALA Rainbow Book List Selection Twelve-year-old Maisie doesn’t think about Calum, her brother who mysteriously left home and cut ties with her family six years ago, or her parents’ insistence that she “broaden her horizons” and try something new—something that isn’t art. But when her family’s art shop falls on hard times, she runs away to London to reconnect with Calum, hoping he might be the key to saving the shop. As Maisie learns about her family’s past from Calum, Maisie must decide if she can forgive her parents for the mistakes they've made.
