Review "Noble immediately establishes an authentically intimate voice, confessional but also self-aware and generous; her endearingly scratchy, impressionistic ink drawings feel like shes trusting readers with pages from her diary." —Publishers Weekly. "Growing up, Nobles inner wolf prevented her from being able to find her voice. While she was fascinated by werewolves, she was very shy with her peers and only really felt comfortable being herself when she was around her loud and vibrant family, especially the Mas. The Mas, Grandma Min and Ma, are Dannys paternal and maternal grandmothers, respectively, and they are the true heart of this book: They are fully fleshed out in both prose and illustration and are therefore so real that they will be sure to make readers feel as if they knew and loved them too." —Kirkus Reviews. "Danny Nobles Shame Pudding is a wonderfully drawn, ridiculously sensitive, very wise and very funny graphic memoir that evokes what its like to be a child—or to have been a child (or at least, to have been me as a child)—better than anything Ive read. It gave me back something precious I thought Id lost. Im in awe and will reread it often." —Liana Finck, author of Passing for Human "I love this book. Its beautiful, touching, gritty and hilarious. A refreshing perspective on an era thats so familiar to many of us. So heartwarming but never saccharine. Very real and true." —Adrian Edmondson, actor and comedian "I was absolutely enamored with it from the start. Danny draws her story and the stories of those around her with a wonderfully delicate hand, and in a way that leaves a beautiful and lasting impact. Shame Pudding is a comforting memoir that captures the funny, strange and enduring spirit of family, and the love that we may always return to when things are falling apart." —Ruby Elliot, author of Its All Absolutely Fine "With masterfully whimsical drawings Danny Noble pictures the taste and texture of childhood and the highs and stomach knots of young adulthood. Vibrant family portraits emerge from Shame Pudding, characters I feel like I know, or wish I could: two big-hearted grandmas, one graceful and full of praise, the other ever-threatening fisticuffs, a genius brother who floats in air, quirky and supportive parents. But perhaps the most affecting character captured is the author herself, a self-proclaimed grubby girl plagued by social silence who grows to quell self-hate through music and art. Shame Pudding is a wholly unique story about giving voice to the inner wolf, and the family that always listens." —Amy Kurzweil, author of Floating Couch.
