Messy roots a graphic memoir of a Wuhanese American
Gao, Laura
Messy roots a graphic memoir of a Wuhanese American Laura Gao ; with color and art assistance by Weiwei Xu - First edition - 269 pages
"After spending her early years in Wuhan, China, riding water buffalos and devouring stinky tofu, Laura immigrates to Texas, where her hometown is as foreign as Mars--at least until 2020, when COVID-19 makes Wuhan a household name. In Messy Roots, Laura illustrates her coming-of-age as the girl who simply wants to make the basketball team, escape Chinese school, and figure out why girls make her heart flutter. Insightful, original, and hilarious, toggling seamlessly between past and present, China and America, Gao's debut is a tour de force of graphic storytelling."--Front jacket flap
