review:
'Everything is Beautiful, and I'm not Afraid: A Baopu Collection' by Yao Xiao is a graphic novel collection of art and poetry about being an immigrant.

Inspired by the creator's own experience as a young, queer immigrant, this book explores the search for belonging in a new country. Also, the pain of the broken relationships with her mother, after she comes out to her.

This is a collection of self-reflection that also encourages the reader to reflect. The art is fairly simple, but the page layouts are really very interesting. It took me a bit to get in to the rhythm of this collection, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
