Almost American Girl: A Graphic Memoir
Robin Ha
I read this as an adult, and it was one of those books that made me feel simultaneously so joyful because I had finally found a story that I connected with, while also feeling so sad that my teenage self didn’t have any books like this to turn to.

Remembering
Xelena González
When I first read an early copy of REMEMBERING... my first thought was that this gorgeous book would bring so much comfort to a young reader who lost their pet. Between then and now, we said goodbye to our sweet Tico, our first family pet... So this was perfect timing.
