My Beijing: Four Stories of Everyday Wonder by Nie Jun
3.0
Sweet gentle short pieces about a kid and their caregiver. The most successful for me was the one where the kid met another kid who showed them a bug garden.
I loved that the caregiver grandfather had been a postal carrier. And that the caregiver was the grandfather, in general. Also points for representing a kid who uses a crutch to get around. I found myself uncomfortable with how the grandfather was drawn, but that is probably a cultural thing.
Yay ownvoices comics which translate pretty darn well!
