review:
'Algeria Is Beautiful Like America' by Olivia Burton with illustrations by Mahi Grand is based on the author's trip back to the land of her ancestors and what she finds there.

Olivia only knew of Algeria from photographs and relatives. After her grandmother dies, she decides to go back and visit the places that her family left. She travels alone to a with no knowledge of the people or language, but finds so much along the way.

I really liked this story of history and conflict and family. I liked the journey and the strangers that take her in. The story is more text driven, but the illustrations are quite nice. I like the use of color for the photos that Olivia takes.

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