Extremely short with gorgeous, telling pictures, the entire coming-of-age story can be read in about 15 minutes. It tracks a boy from his birth -- his mother wants boys so badly that she promises to donate their hair in a temple if given boys, leading everyone to believe the boy is a girl for his first two years -- through his coming of age and the beginnings of puberty and sexual awakening. Lots of nice Indian-Canadian and queer experience details mixed in with a series of powerful vignettes, excellently written. (

I liked this a lot. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this but it was quite good and interesting. Especially the way it was told - in a childish, short and sweet format but with subject matter that is probably not for children. (
