The Color of Earth by Kim Dong Hwa

5.0

Lush and beautiful drawings meld perfectly with the poetic language in this dreamy graphic novel. The supportive and loving relationship between Ehwa and her mother is a refreshing change from the usual antagonistic sparring between adolescent and parent. The gorgeous Korean countryside enhances and supports Ehwa's analogies on love and life. It's a shame this book is frequently challenged because it's a wonderful example of how puberty, sex and adult relationships can be addressed gracefully.
