Soy Boy
Artwork by Violet Lemay
As part of AGM’s Work for Free campaign, Violet Lemay created this book cover for Charlotte Schwartz, a law clerk and volunteer mediator for a court diversion program at Toronto’s City Hall. Charlotte and her husband Seth wrote Soy Boy to raise awareness about a genetic metabolic condition called “Galactosemia”, which affects roughly 1 in 60,000 people in North America—including their adorable little boy, Isaiah. About 75% of children with galactosemia do not make it past their first two weeks if the condition has gone undiagnosed. Thankfully ten-month-old Isaiah, a.k.a. “Soy Boy,” is healthy and happy, keeping Charlotte and Seth on their toes. Violet plans to continue working with Charlotte; over time “The Edible Adventures of Soy Boy” will be fully illustrated.
