pickThis illustrated memoir follows three generations of a family escaping Vietnam to make a better life for themselves, beyond the struggles of war and Communism. As Thi Bui becomes a mother herself, she begins to wrestle with the emotions and sacrifices of a mother while taking her past role as daughter. The artwork isn't my favorite with simple drawings and a limited color palette, but it is effective in setting the scene.
It's a bit like Maus.
