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

lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.5

Suggs' debut graphic novel memoir is a delight to read! I read the entire thing in one sitting, last night before I went to sleep. The art is vibrant and captures their summer in Mexico, and I even though I am not fluent in Spanish, I always appreciate when Spanish is included without giving a translation. It really transports your more into the culture. 

This book is about figuring out where you belong, figuring out your identity, and feeling at home in your body. And it features so much about Mexican culture! The food, the art, their language. There is just so much to love about it.

I think so many teens wil also find a home in this story.
