Book 50: Love, Misha. Misha doesn't feel that their mom has been supportive of their gender transformation. They are going on a road trip together (one that Misha doesn't want to go on) and get lost. They wind up in a spirit world, meet a lot of unusual creatures, some friendly, some not. Being lost is both true but also a metaphor for Misha's relationship with their mom as they work together to find a way back to their own world and get to know each other. Really well done and illustrated.

Book 51: Kampung Boy. This graphic novel is a classic of the genre which somehow I had never come across until I found it in a local LFL. It's an excellent story about growing up in a rural village in Malaysia as a Muslim kid at the same time as the rural ways are disappearing. The drawing is goofy and expressive and there is so much going on in each page it was fun to flip through it. It highlights just how isolated rural communities were and yet how much was still going on in each one.
