To us late bloomers

I once paged through a graphic novel, or graphic story collection by Carol Tyler. She's well known in the illustration circles, but took a long hiatus from drawing to raise her family. Late Bloomers is a lovely collection of moments, vignettes, and a few longer stories about her life, her family, her relatives. I enjoyed the references to the seasonals, flowers and shrubs. Most of all, I loved the dedication at the front of the book.

This book is dedicated to anyone who has deferred a dream due to raising children or caregiving, or has experienced a significant setback from emotional hurt, physical or mental illness, pain, injury or loss, or any other blind-side interruption that has impeded the achievement of a goal. This book is dedicated to the possibilities that lie within all of us. This book is a celebration of us late bloomers.
