This beautifully illustrated graphic novel combines fairy tales, family relationships, cultural identity, and the quiet magic of everyday life. At its heart is a young boy who struggles to communicate important feelings to his mother, while traditional stories provide a language through which both can understand one another. Vietnamese folklore and familiar fairy-tale structures are woven together to create a story that feels both intimate and magical. Tender, visually distinctive, and emotionally powerful, the book explores growing up, belonging, language, family, and the ways stories can help people express what ordinary words cannot.
