Eleven-year-old Nhia 'Silver' Lee is visiting her Hmong grandparents, but she doesn't speak their language, at least not very well. Enter: Anxiety. Nhia fears she won't be able to connect with her grandparents due to this language barrier. Fortunately, while helping her grandpa on the farm and cooking with her grandmother, Nhia discovers that words aren't the only way to show love. Written by Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humourous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic pre-teen girl.
