About this ebook
Eleven-year-old Nhia struggles with anxiety while visiting her non-English speaking grandparents in this installment of The Niah Normal graphic novel series.
Eleven-year-old Nhia “Silver” Lee is visiting her Hmong grandparents, but she doesn’t speak their language—at least not very well. Enter: Anxiety. Nhia fears she won’t be able to connect with her grandparents due to this language barrier. Fortunately, while helping her grandpa on the farm and cooking with her grandmother, Nhia discovers that words aren’t the only way to show love. Written by Hmong American Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic preteen girl.

We all feel anxious when facing uncertainty or something new, this is normal and each and every one of us experiences it sometimes. This short graphic story reassures us by being with Nhia as she visits grandparents for the first time in a long time.The illustrations by Karen Donnelly are easy to understand even without words, fun, simple, and delightful.Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone aged 8-111, but especially to a school, church library, or your local public library!I requested and received a free temporary uncorrected proof e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Capstone | Stone Arch Books via NetGalley. Thank you!Expected publication Aug 01, 2024. #Hmong #Multicultural #MaintainingMentalHealth #Series #Anxiety
