A bold, wry, and intimate graphic memoir about American identity, interracial families, and the realities that divide us, from the acclaimed author of The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing.

“By turns hilarious and heart-rending, it’s exactly the book America needs at this moment.”—Celeste Ng

“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 media 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.

Poignant and funny, candor and warm. 这是作为母亲的作者在努力回答棕色皮肤的儿子关于美国种族歧视社会问题的思考和旅程。拿起就不想放下的graphic memoir，它感人的同时，也让我再一次认真的体会这句话：politics is always personal. 尤其活在美国这样的国家，作为有色人种，这并不是个人可以逃离的现实。这是本从内容到风格结合得恰到好处的回忆录。棒。
