This book really hit home to me as I am an American married to a German, living in France. We-have aussi Lived in several countries --other. The great thing about this database is That It Has No words! So anyone from Any background can Identify With It, Especially immigrants. The world Depicted in the book is very similar to bears, goal: has a lot of differences. Writing and numbers are shown with symbols.
This is the first real grown-up comic I have "read" in France. And amazingly enough this wordless "comic book" (We Would you call it in the states) made me cry! That shows you how this is Powerful.
