Details
A bold, wry, and intimate graphic memoir about American identity, interracial family, and the realities that divide us, from the acclaimed author of The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing.
"Who taught Michael Jackson to dance?" "Is that how people really walk on the moon?" "Is it bad to be brown?" "Are white people afraid of brown people?"
Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacob's half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions about everything. At first they are innocuous enough, but as tensions from the 2016 election spread from the country into his own family, they become much, much more complicated. Trying to answer him honestly, Mira has to think back to where she's gotten her own answers--her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and of course, love.
How brown is too brown? Can Indians be racist? What does real love between really different people look like?
Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation--and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.
