  • AAPI month — excellent rep
  • Mother/Daughter relationship — especially close to Mother’s Day, not everyone has a perfect relationship with their own mothers (life is messy, so are families)
  • Racism — focus on Chinese in Canada
  • Statelessness — discussion on immigration and citizenship
  • Culture — Chinese vs Canadian (and how they mix together)
  • Female roles — work, family, and personal (how do we fit in?); great discussion
  • Families — what do mixed families look like, how do they function; great discussion
  • Hockey reference — always like to see the Great One on the page #99

Dandelion is a beautiful story of a woman's search for understanding after her Mother disappeared (left) with no trace as a pre-teen, urged on as she herself becomes a new mother. A poignant tale of family, isolation, culture, and statelessness, all while Lily reconciles with post-partum depression.
