Yellow Singing Sail by Yinfan Huang
3.25
emotional lighthearted reflective slow-paced

Yellow Singing Sail is a collection of memoir vignettes about the author growing up during the late 90's in China. The simple illustrations and limited color pallette capture the feelings of childhood as Yinfan learns to navigate lonliness, friendships, and change. I would have enjoyed a more cohesive narrative as it was sometimes difficult to tell when parts of the stort took place, but overall I enjoyed it and will definitely reccomend this book to folks looking for a gentle and nostalgic read.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
