I really liked Kathy’s journey in this book. It highlights the struggles of a lot of bicultural/biracial kids. The illustrations are fun and I enjoyed the family photos at the end.

One of my favorite type of books to read are memoirs in graphic format and this one is superb. Kathy MacLeod, the author/illustrator, uses words and illustrations which perfectly match the story. She took two years to create this gem of a book. She looks back on being eleven years old when she was a “continental drifter” with her family living part time in Maine where her father was from and the rest of the year in Bangkok, Thailand where her mother was from. Readers get a peek at what it was like for her to grow up with two different cultures never feeling completely at ease in either one. The photographs at the end make for a beautiful ending to this memoir.
