Skim NY Times Best Illustrated Children Books Mariko Tamaki Jillian Tamaki Books

Skim isn't completely was I expected but it kinda was.
The book follows an Asian teen as she comes to terms with her understanding of love and sexuality. Nothing is explicit but all feelings expressed are quiet yet raw which I liked a lot. The lead is a witch but the practice is not the plot's main focus. So if that's the kind of representation you're seeking, I doubt you'll be satisfied. Especially since the lead doesn't take it too seriously (she's 16, give her a break lol). I digress. The book did a great job capturing the process of heartbreak when you barely understand. It also did a great job showing various friendships between girls and the process of growing apart (and closer) at a young age. Also did a good job highlighting the various ways people deal with grief. On the other hand, it did a horrible job pointing out explicitly that (spoiler alert) adults shouldn't go after children romantically. Considering the climate this book was made it, I'm not particularly happy about that so I took off a star. I also took off another star because I wish the story was longer. Granted the book has a complete story, I liked the lead enough to crave more of her narrative. Especially in relation to her budding relationship with someone unexpected.

Not my favorite but recommend to queer Asian teen femmes seeking representation. There's one scene I'm sure many youth of color growing up in white spaces can relate to. I digress. TW for suicide and predatory adults (read: inappropriate behavior with children).

Skim NY Times Best Illustrated Children Books Mariko Tamaki Jillian Tamaki Books Reviews


Lovely Book, and a great read. The artwork is stunning. I had to buy this book for a class along with some others, and this is the only one I kept.
This is the second book I've read by the Tamakis, and I think they write fantastic graphic novels about young adulthood focused specifically on teenage girls. The art is whimsical, haunting, and beautiful, and the writing matches the art.
I love this book! I literally read this book over 20 times at school and when it finally arrived I instantly started reading it! if anyone is looking for a book that is an interesting read this is the first one I recommend to anyone!
Item was as described and arrived quickly.
Wonderful graphic novel. Beautiful imagery, pace, and characters. It's like what a good high school movie wants to be but never is. Ideal to read in late summer/autumn if you read by the season like I do.
This graphic novel was praised almost universally in reviews, and but has still remained somewhat under the radar of the public.

Both the story and the drawing style are unusual and lovely. It's a story is set in the emotional world of a young schoolgirl. Like many bildungsromans, it is full of yearning and searching, but instead of being angsty or funny, it is poetic and kaleidoscopic, a snowglobe-like window into her changing world. I haven't seen anything else quite like it, and I've read a lot of graphic novels and comics.

Fans of Persepolis, Fun Home, or Maus would particularly appreciate it.
I just started reading graphic novels and Mariko and Jillian Tamaki have quickly become my favorites! I first read "This One Summer" and now "Skim". LOVE, LOVE the illustration style in both books and the story lines (both coming of age stories) are so real and thoughtfully written. I know I will return to these 2 books over and over again.
