Himawari House by Harmony Becker
5.0

This has to be one of my favorite graphic novels that I’ve read in a long time. It captures a lot of my feelings about being a part of the Asian diaspora. It feels hits home on how language and identity are intertwined for some people. For me, I’ve struggled with feeling Chinese enough because I don’t speak any of the Chinese languages or dialects. I saw a lot of these struggles in Nao’s character. There were moments when I literally laughed out loud and moments when I teared up. This graphic novel contains so much depth and introspection. I love it!
