Tiến adores his friends and family, but he's been hiding a secret from them that might completely alter their lives. A fantastic young adult graphic novel about the complexities of family and the unifying power of stories.
It's not a fairytale in real life.
However, Tiến still likes to tell his favorite stories from the books he checks out from the neighborhood library to his parents. When you're a child, it's difficult enough to try to connect with your parents, but for Tiến, his parents' poor English makes it impossible for him to even know what to say. Is there a term in Vietnamese for what he is experiencing?
How can I let them know he's gay?
A young child attempts to make sense of life through fairytales in this exquisitely illustrated book by Trung Le Nguyen. An immediate classic, it demonstrates how interconnected we are all. The Magic Fish reminds us that no matter what, we can all have our own happy endings and tackles difficult themes in a way that is approachable for readers of all ages.
