I have been a fan of Shing Yin Khor's art for years, and I was so excited when this book was announced! Along with their adorable rescue dog, Bug, Shing sets out to drive the complete historic Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago. Along the way they chat with rangers, bikers, tourists, and the shop and cafe owners that are keeping pieces of American history alive. Shing's voice is warm, personal, and curious. The pages are painted in gorgeous full-color watercolors. The remains of blueline pencil under the finished artwork give the whole book the immediate and intimate feeling of a travel journal. Thoughts on being an immigrant and searching for a homeland are woven through the portraits of kitschy roadside attractions. This book is a quick and highly recommended read.
