What Members Thought
A beautifully illustrated graphic novel where traditional western and asian fairy tales intertwine with a modern day fairytale about identity and acceptance.
This is a beautiful graphic novel that mixes culture, fairytales, family love, and emerging sexuality into a cohesive story. A Vietnamese mother and her son share fairytales and these become mirrors for some of the issues they are each dealing with: being away from one's homeland, being separated from one's love, and loving someone of the same gender. The artwork is lovely and the colors delineate three different settings in time and place.

Gorgeous graphic novel that combines a boy's coming-of-age understandings with two Vietnamese fairy tales. These versions of Cinderella and The Little Mermaid are elegant and dramatic with gruesome details. A bold and lovely book.
