First

The highly anticipated followup to Pursuit:A Collection of Art

In First, Lianne Cruz shares the heartfelt, and often unplanned, moments of pregnancy and motherhood. Drawn in a gorgeous series of vignettes, every panel captures the joys and challenges of first experiences and the people who share them with us.

Based on the webcomic, Li Comics, First documents Lianne Cruz's journey as an artist and a mother. A celebration of all the firsts that life presents to us, this graphic novel is the perfect follow-up to Pursuit: A Collection of Art, a finalist in the 2020 International Book Awards. Through her art and her signature style of warmth, humor, and storytelling, Lianne Cruz invites us to take a look at the beauty and complexity of life and reminds us that we are never alone in our journeys.
