¡Ay, Mija!: My Bilingual Summer in Mexico by Christine Suggs

adventurous emotional relaxing medium-paced

5.0

With unique art style and cultural illustrations, Christine Suggs takes us on a journey with them on their summer trip to Mexico and identity as a mixed-race person. I resonate with the bilingual/multi-lingual struggles and wanting to speak the other language but insecurity creeps in. I love all the Mexican motifs at the beginning of each chapter title page.

i definitely enjoyed this!! after reading gender queer a few months ago, i knew i wanted to read more memoir-style graphic novels and this was one of the first to pop up in my search. i'm also trying to incorporate more spanish in my everyday reading (since i'm learning and majoring in it) and i found it super easy to read/understand!! highly recommend.
