The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen
Task #13: Read a comic that has been banned.
Trung Le Nguyen won my heart with their tweet, “People wanna ban my book for only gay reasons, nobody ever ever mentions the cannibalism ????” The Magic Fish was banned in several school districts in 2021 for having LGBTQ content. It follows Tien as he bonds with his mother and helps her learn English by reading fairy tales with her. As her English approves, Tien struggles to find the words to come out to her. (The cannibalism is just mentioned in one of the fairy tales, in case that scared you off…)
