I would definitely recommend this graphic
novel for a couple of reasons. I
genuinely found it interesting to learn about somebody who grew up in a
different generation than mine (1980s) and in a different country than Canada.
It is very intriguing to see their day-to-day life, what their school life was like, what activities they did, and how different their culture is. I also found that being told from a 6 year old child's perspective made these details simple to see and understand.
The final reason for my recommendation is that I’ve realized the things around me are so sacred. Not everybody has the things Canadians have in life and most times, we take it for granted. This book made me more aware of this imbalanced and I hope that everybody who reads this book realizes it too.
