Hidden is a graphic memoir in which an art teacher, who is also the author, Mirranda Burton, takes us into her art class where she is teaching art to physically or intellectually impaired students.

Four overlapping stories introduce us to quirky, amusing and touching characters. It is wise and humane. At first glance, Mirranda Burton's art room is a hidden world full of strange eccentric characters and mysterious minds. But stay a while and in that room you'll find all the joy and sadness of life, the pain and comfort of community, and the ultimate meaning of art. This hidden world is our world; it is where we all live, together and alone. In Hidden Mirranda Burton is writing about what matters most, and she does so with such gentle humanity and wisdom these stories will stay with you long after you turn the final page and reluctantly close the art room door.
