Saving Sunshine is a very sweet middle-grade graphic novel that does a good job of bringing up some tough topics like sibling rivalry and racism in a way that is age-appropriate. It shows ways to deal with overt, covert, and "accidental" racism through the parent's lens but also allows us to see how the main character boy and girl deal with it in different ways. It shows how the siblings' relationship has and does develop as they age. It was well worth the read and I would recommend it! Thank you, NetGalley for the eARC!
