The one thing I found confusing is that something about the proportions of the characters made them look younger to me. Fairy tale dresses are especially elaborate, and the end of the book contains notes on the time periods the dresses are drawn from. The graphic novel interweaves slant-wise takes on three familiar fairy tales with Tien’s adventures in high school and as he struggles to communicate important truths about himself to his parents. It’s a close, loving family and they read fairy tales together when they have time. He speaks mostly English, and they speak mostly Vietnamese. Tien is growing up in the US with Vietnamese immigrant parents. ![]()
