What a gorgeous graphic novel! Marjane writes and illustrates with honesty, humor and wit to convey her singular experience of her childhood in Iran and Austria, experiencing war and revolution, personal and communal rebellions, fundamentalism and political struggles and more. The graphic novel unfolds in a way that is at once attuned to daily life and Marjane's emotional world, as well as the larger global circumstances that inform her experiences. It is an epic of personal growth and the evolution of a country and a society, connected by a passion for family, home, Iran, friendship, justice and self expression. I felt parented by the meaning making efforts in this journey.

This was really well done- the story is obviously incredibly dark and at times hard to read but really well written and explained and I wish my library had access to the 2nd one online so I could read that one as well

The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself: "Are my trousers long enough?” “Is my veil in place?” “Can my makeup be seen?” “Are they going to whip me?” No longer asks herself: “Where is my freedom of thought?” “Where is my freedom of speech?” “My life, is it liveable?” “What’s going on in the political prisons?”
