I absolutely adore Lucy Knisley's artwork as well as her hysterical commentary. As her and her mother both face life changing milestones (graduating college, turning 50), they spend a month together sightseeing in Paris. "French Milk" is Lucy's travel journal of the trip. Funny, heartwarming and relatable. ~ Reviewed by Jess Elder
