- Summary:
- "Inspired by the journey of the author's younger brother, this wordless wonder of a book follows the experience of a family as one of their own faces a life-threatening illness. As his health declines, can the family remain resilient on his long journey through treatment?" -- publisher marketing.
- "Giant is a silent graphic novel. The book is inspired by the journey my brother faced after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and how our family were affected. The main character wakes up one morning to find he has grown to the size of a giant, which acts as three metaphors: the physical mutation of cancer; the idea of feeling like the 'elephant in the room'; but also, the 'giant' strength he takes away with him following his recovery." -- author's website.
