Reception

Reviews

Hey, Kiddo is a Junior Library Guild book.[1] It received universal acclaim, including starred reviews from Booklist,[2] The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books,[3] The Horn Book,[4] Kirkus Reviews,[5] Publishers Weekly,[6] School Library Journal,[7] and Shelf Awareness.[8]

Kirkus called the book "[h]onest, important, and timely."[5]

Writing for Booklist, Sarah Hunter noted, "There have been a slew of graphic memoirs published for youth in the past couple of years, but the raw, confessional quality and unguarded honesty of Krosoczka’s contribution sets it apart from the crowd."[2]

Kelley Gile of School Library Journal said it was "[a] compelling, sometimes raw look at how addiction can affect families. A must-have, this book will empower readers, especially those who feel alone in difficult situations."[7]

The audiobook, narrated by Krosoczka and a cast of others, is a Junior Library Guild book.[9] It also received a starred review from Booklist, who said, "It’s some sort of spectacular... In a production that is meticulously produced and spellbinding to experience, Krosoczka’s challenging childhood becomes a cathartic, captivating friends-and-family aural affair to remember."[10]

Hey, Kiddo was named one of the best nonfiction books of 2018 by The Horn Book.[11]
