Unaccompanied: Stories of Brave Teenagers Seeking Asylum

Unaccompanied: Stories of Brave Teenagers Seeking Asylum

Five teens from four countries risk their lives and face dangerous challenges to escape to the United States and find safety when life at home becomes too unbearable.

Unaccompanied is the result of years of research including interviews about lived experience and expert knowledge. It’s a global collaboration between many people. Tracy also partnered with fact-checkers, educators, legal professionals, and DEI experts for sensitivity and accuracy, but there is always more that can be added to the conversation.

A Little About Me

Hi I’m Tracy, thanks for stopping by!
I’m a cartoonist, teacher, cat wrangler and daily dark chocolate eater who also enjoys reading early in the morning.
I make non fiction graphic novels and webcomics mostly for teens. My comics are about the experiences and emotions that connect us all but often aren’t talked about honestly.
I feel really lucky to be a teacher and an author — it means I get to think about comics a lot and meet and talk with students who are interested in making comics. It’s why I LOVE to visit schools. libraries and do other events around how to work with words and images.
I believe in the power of stories to change the world.
