I Was a Child is the story of his childhood in suburban New Jersey, detailing the small moments we all experience: going to school, playing with friends, family dinners, watching TV on a hot summer night, and so on. It would seem like a conventional childhood, although Kaplan's anecdotes are accompanied by his signature drawings of family outings and life at home-road trips, milk crates, hamsters, ashtrays, a toupee, a platypus, and much more. Kaplan's cartoons, although simple, are never straightforward; they encompass an easy irony and dark humor that often cuts straight to the truth of experience. Brilliantly relatable and genuinely moving, I Was a Child is about our attempts to understand the mysteries that are our parents, our families, and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928668274976,"sku":"NEW0399183418","price":19.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/i-was-a-child-a-memoir-0399183418","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
