Description
Eleven-year-old Nhia struggles with anxiety while visiting her non-English speaking grandparents in this installment of The Niah Normal graphic novel series. 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 Hmong American Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic preteen girl.
