I loved the graphic format of this memoir. Author Jacob places drawings of speakers over a series of photos and drawings. The effect is amazing. I really got a feel for the people by viewing the cartoon versions of them. But aside from the visual presentation, the memoir is excellent talking about growing up a super minority in New Mexico (supposedly the 3rd Indian family to move there). Figuring out what it means to be a minority as you grow up. Marrying and having a son who is bi-racial and trying to figure out how to teach him what that means. Then real life historic events including 9-11 and the election of the last few presidents. This is really an impressive memoir.
