Great! submitted by manz on May 18, 2022, 11:03am This is a wonderful graphic memoir! A coming of age story about figuring out and eventually embracing one's cultural and sexual identity -- it's a total winner.
Great memoir! submitted by Xris on August 5, 2022, 4:53pm I love how the three places she called home integrated with her name and its meaning. And it's always good for me to learn more about other cultures. Plus, the author is queer! Another book to show my GSA kids!
