For some reason this one took me awhile to get through. It was very long!
But it was very good! A beautiful graphic memoir about going to Mexico to bring Abuelito to their home in the US. It had a mixture of childhood wonder and excitement mixed with somber and stress.
I loved the conversation of feeling in the middle. Being both Mexican and American and not quite feeling fully a part of either, but simultaneously feeling like both are a part of you. I thought Pedro finding his grito expressed this sentiment beautifully.
