A lovely and heartwarming story about the struggles of an immigrant family. The artwork is beautiful and the ending is sweet. I loved how it seamlessly wove the fairytales together with what was going on in Tien and his mother’s lives.
The awful teacher who outted Tien and made him talk to a homophobic priest can choke though.
