Last fall, I coordinated a visit with Laura Gao, author of Messy Roots, at the American high school in Taiwan where I was the librarian. Since its publication, Gao's graphic memoir—which explores her journey of self-discovery as a queer Wuhanese American—has both resonated deeply with audiences and been the target of book challenges. For one busy week last October, Gao gave multiple presentations and led our English, art, and creative writing classes in joyful and inspiring workshops.
