Blue Sky Through the Window of a Moving Car: Comics for beautiful, awful and ordinary days Jordan Bolton 9781529905410

There is poetry in every day

Most of life is made up of mundane moments on ordinary days. But every moment, every good day, bad day, and average day, had to happen exactly the way that it did for you to exist. Everything that made you, connects us all in small, invisible, and beautiful ways.

This first comic collection from artist Jordan Bolton explores the fleeting details that unite us. Jordan brings together the visual language of comics with the heartfelt language of poetry, to express moments of love and heartbreak, embarrassment and shame, hope and disappointment, grief and happiness. Split into sections that reflect where we spend the majority of our time - In Public, In Transit, and At Home - Bolton shines spotlights on the lives and stories unfolding around us every day that we might otherwise ignore.

With the addition of new and unseen comics, Blue Sky Through the Window of a Moving Car is a gentle reminder that everything is ordinary, everything is extraordinary, and everything is connected.

Most-loved stories include:
