Mexikid
Pedro Martin (Guppy)
It’s not easy growing up in a big Mexican-American family – especially when setting out on a road trip in the family motorhome, bringing your legendary Abuelito (Grandpa) back from Mexico to live with you in the States. For 11+ readers, this graphic memoir is full of superb, multilayered storytelling, exploring nuances of identity via the intersection of image and word. Hilarious, wide-ranging and unforgettably evocative, Mexikid chronicles horrific haircuts, dangerous toys, cataclysmic reactions to raw milk and how it feels to be not quite at home on either side of the border.
