Mexikid

This deserves all of the awards it's won! What a beautiful - and hilarious - story of family and culture(s). Long live the Deer Surgeon!

Author/illustrator Pedro Martín shares the story of a trip to Mexico his family took when Martín was just a kid. The family has many adventures including a tussle with border guards and a skirmish with a deer, and they pick up Martín's abuelo and the boy learns the stories of his grandfather's life.

Quite a wonderful book.

guaoooo this is so funny and heartwarming. And I love how detailed the artwork is. It rewards close attention with extra giggles.

I read the graphic novel and listened to the audiobook.

I recommend doing both.

Funny and sad and funny again.
