Gorgeous, moving, and thoughtful, what an exquisite graphic novel that shows how a true marriage of both text and art can create an alchemical change to storytelling. Nguyen's use of colors to orient the reader to each different storyline/timeline will be so helpful for the MG/YA audience, because he doesn't pander to the audience in complexity of word choice or theme, especially in the back matter. So many weighty topics for discussion, all beautifully explored. This would make an excellent book group/lit circle pick.
