m_lemon shared a tip "The art style is so comforting and beautiful. I couldn’t put it down. I love the cultural aspects and how the story wasn’t only about a kid struggling to come out to his mom. It truly warmed my heart."

nora_fritsch shared a tip "Beautiful illustrations align with a beautiful story speaking to #immigration and the feeling of being between cultures as well as coming to terms with being #queer and the uncertainty around #comingout . I’d recommend this for adolescents and adults. #queerrepresentation #gay #queerstories #immigrants #fairytales #graphicnovels #vietnamese"

damilola_olabisi_icloud shared a tip "Was such a wonderful book to read. I like the way it was bore than just your average « American » fairytales and we get to learn/read more than one story. The mc and his struggles seem real and I love the fact that he came out that way. 10/10"

pineappletree shared a tip "This book is everything. It is a graphic novel that tells the story of a young gay boy and his Vietnamese immigrant mom. As a queer Asian American person this book means everything to me. The way it weaves topics like coming out, the hardships of immigration, balancing and reconnecting with culture, and love with fairytales is impeccable. The art is gorgeous and so unique. I recommend this to everyone. It is my favorite graphic novel."
