This graphic novel is heartfelt and delves into difficult subjects with grace and care. Shing Yin Khor's art is simple and effective, making the story fly by while still easily getting captured by the characters. It felt so quick that I wanted more but I think it does well with what is presented. I loved the use of myth to explore the character's struggles. I'd love to see a book dedicated to the Auntie Po legends and even more of the stories we see glimpses of throughout the book.
