The coloring in this was perfect! Choosing different colors to represent different aspects of the story was a fun way to illustrate where things were taking place. As the author mentions in the back of the book, hearing a different type of immigrant story was super interesting. Taking fairytales and using them to illustrate real life and changing them to relate to the characters was a fun way to showcase the familial bonds in this story.
