My Beijing: Four Stories of Everyday Wonder
by Nie Jun
This book was really sweet. I wish I could’ve read it in its original language, not a translation. But still, the art spoke for itself. The imaginative world of Yuer and Grampa was a delight - like a cool swim on a summer day. The art reminded me a bit of Studio Ghibli in the way where everything seems a little old fashioned, but there are modern elements worked in so you never really know what time period you’re in. I particularly loved the splash page in “Bug Paradise” and the color palette throughout was so pleasing and peaceful. This also reminded me a bit of the Eloise books, especially the first story about swimming. Overall, a really sweet read!
