It is told from the viewpoint of Lars, a feeble boy who lives in a fantastical palace and has a giant cat named Nemo. Walden's debut graphic novel, The End of Summer, was published by Avery Hill in June 2015. Walden began putting her comics and drawings on her website, and was discovered while still in high school by British publisher Avery Hill Publishing, who worked with Walden to publish her first graphic novel, The End of Summer. Additionally, in an interview, Walden said ' Studio Ghibli has completely shaped my visual vocabulary and how I think about stories.' Walden is said to have also been influenced by graphic memoirs, such as Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, Blankets by Craig Thompson and Stitches by David Small. The biggest manga artist that had an impact on her was Yoshihiro Togashi, creator of the manga Hunter x Hunter. This greatly influenced her work, leading her to focus more on line than shape or color.

Walden's first comic was a black-and-white comic 'about never knowing her but following in her footsteps.' A workshop led by Scott McCloud had been a major turning point in her career, given it 'really inspired to draw some comics, and around this time was also becoming increasingly bored with fine art'. Walden is named after her paternal grandmother, an artist who died before Walden was born. Walden was shaped by her childhood move from New Jersey to Texas. Tillie Walden grew up in New Jersey and Austin, Texas. She was named Vermont's Cartoonist Laureate for the years 2023 - 2026. Walden won the 2018 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work for her graphic novel Spinning, making her one of the youngest Eisner Award winners ever. Tillie Walden (born 1996) is an American cartoonist who has published five graphic novels and a webcomic.
