LOVED it! Semi-autobiographical story about a young Muslim boy growing up in rural Malaysia. The drawings are really energetic and detailed cartoons, and the story is simple in the best possible way. Loved loved loved it.

I love the story and the images. I feel like it takes me to another place and time.

Funny slice-of-life of growing up in Malaysia.

Panels Read Harder: Comic set in Asia by an Asian creator.

A swift and subtle look at a particular and universal childhood. The details from 1950's rural Malaysia are a world away from Western city life, but the themes and experiences remain familiar. A deft, sly touch in the art and pacing makes this the classic it is known it be.
