This was a great read; it was heart warming while still having some real complexities to the people and relationships. The art was beautiful. I liked the use of color for the different "spiritual" characters or feelings of the main character. I liked the use of small visual details, like facial expressions of non-main characters or characters' clothing. It was also funny; the grandma and uncle were especially fun characters. Culturally, I liked that there were different east Asian ethnicities (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese) and their Lunar New Year traditions and beliefs represented.
