Told in verse, this companion memoir to Free Lunch and Punching Bag tells the compelling, sometimes heartbreaking but ultimately heartwarming story of Ogle’s relationship with his Abuela, who was his childhood champion and support as she helped him escape a childhood of poverty, shame and abuse. Abuela, Don’t Forget Me is the portrayal of familial love tested by horrifying circumstance that lives on even when his grandmother is beginning to lose her memories of its bonds.
Rex Ogle is the award-winning author and the writer of nearly a hundred children’s books, comics, graphic novels, and memoirs—including his novel, Free Lunch, which was the Winner of the 2020 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award. Born and raised (mostly) in Texas, he moved to New York City after college to intern at Marvel Comics before moving over to DC Comics, Scholastic, and Little Brown Young Readers. He currently lives in Los Angeles where he writes full time.
