An autobiographical collection of illustrations depicting Xiao's move from China to America, discovering who they are and slowly learning to accept themselves. Sweet drawings, relatable content. (

I came to this book as a fan of comics shared on Autostraddle and this collection didn't disappoint. It's got that dreamy slightly bittersweet feel to it that I've come to enjoy from the Baopu comics. There are so many lovely little self-care insights and relateable musings on mental health, and feeling like an outsider. Even though I have never experienced being a long-term immigrant, it's not hard to understand the kind of longing for home and in-between and out of place feeling that might engender. Also, it has one of my favorites in there about not apologizing for taking up space, but saying thank you to your friends/family for being there instead. It's a very nice collection with a simple, but dreamy art style that feels like a warm blanket. (

There is interesting subject matter as the author's surrogate, Baopu, deals with rejection by her mother when she comes out as bisexual. She also has to handle the stress of being a Chinese resident alien in New York City.

Unfortunately, the presentation is basically graphic poetry, and I just could not engage with that. Not my thing. (

I really enjoyed reading Everything is Beautiful, and I’m Not Afraid. As a queer Asian American, this was very relatable for me. I went through similar struggles with the clashing of my identity and my conservative Asian culture. The search for acceptance from family, for belonging, and for self-love was one that I think many queer Asians can relate to.

There are many other topics that Xiao touches upon such as fat-shaming in Asian culture, racism, xenophobia, etc., all of which are present in everyday life for Asian Americans. Every page felt like I was talking to a friend who just understands what I’ve been through and am still going through. (
