1 post | 1 read

Poupeh needs to speak up for her parents at an embassy interview--the problem is that she's been rendered mute! Smile meets New Kid in this funny, heartwarming, poignant graphic novel about the toll immigrating to the United States takes on a kid's mental health. Poupeh Babaee is an Iranian girl sent to live with her relatives in the United States. Although Poupeh understands and speaks English, the stress of entering a new school in a foreign land renders her mute, and she is diagnosed with selective mutism. Worse yet, a travel ban--which labels Iran a "dangerous country"--has barred her parents from entering the US! In order to help her parents immigrate, Poupeh must find a way to speak up for them during an interview with an embassy officer or risk being separated. This powerful, heart-warming graphic novel debut shows the bravery and courage of a young girl who will do anything to reunite her family.

Say Something, Poupeh Babaee!: A Graphic Novel | Haleh Massey

so-so

I wanted a middle grade memoir akin to El Deafo which hits perfectly for it's subject matter and age range, unfortunately Say Something is more didactic fiction that tells kids how they should feel rather than a memoir of how one kid did feel.
