Summary: Tien, caught between cultures, shares fairy tales with his Vietnamese immigrant mother to bridge their language gap. Yet, one story remains untold—his own. How can he express his identity and come out to his parents when words fail him? As his mother's English improves, Tien must find a way to reveal his hidden self, hoping for acceptance. This beautifully illustrated graphic novel explores family, identity, and the power of stories to unite us.
