@bookstodon I have another great graphic memoir to recommend: Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story, by Sarah Myer.
Their message about belonging to one's true self as a radical act of courage and defiance, is powerful and palpable. Myer does not hold back in recounting the all-out assault that is bullying, and I'm glad they didn't leave out the absolute complicity of adults. The tone is one of hurt, but also of hope. Myer finds (relatively) safe haven and freedom of expression among the creatives. The arts can save people.
