Little White Duck

 

      I recently read a graphic novel on a girl from China that noticed that the world isn't one big happy world. There a kids starving. Or children with no water to bath them in. Its a very touching novel that puts you in a timeline of life were you thought of everything being normal. The main character Liu Na. But her given name is Da Qin which translates to big piano. She has a little sister named xiao qin which means little piano. This school day is pretty sad. Its the day that yen yen (grandpa) dies. Da qin doesn't know who it is but she thinks its her actual grandfather. Everyone cries that day. No smiling no laughing echos down the streets just left memories of her yen yen.

    Later in the book Da qin goes to her fathers childhood town to visit her evil grandma. From her point of view grandma doesn't look nice. She's mean and grumpy.Nothing happy is happening in this town just children playing with dirt. Before the trip Da qin put a very nice jacket on that had a soft little white duck imprinted on it. Sadly her cousins in her fathers town ruined it buy spreading the dirt all over the duck. Now she feels diapponted because her jacket is filthy. She found out that her cousins cannot read but what she learned is how fast she an get dirty!

    All in all Da qin his still alive. She lives in Brooklyn with her daughter and husband. Shes happy as anyone can be. I would recommend this book to people that enjoy graphic novels. Habe a great SUNDAY!
