✨ LUNAR BOY IS NOW AVAILABLE WHEREVER AMERICAN BOOKS ARE SOLD ✨
And it's a book that makes history! One of my biggest struggles with making this book is not having anyone like me in the industry (of American trad pub) to turn to who was making an escapist queer fantasy based in Indonesian culture. So I realized I had to be that person for someone else.
Lunar Boy is a coming of age graphic novel about big changes, culture shock, and discovering what it means to belong. If that sounds like something you'd be into, please give it a look and tell a friend about it.
As is tradition we've whipped out the Nasi Kuning variant of Tumpeng to celebrate good fortune for Lunar Boy! Also there's a cake version of the book, unfortunately it will not be sold in stores so don't eat the book if you see it. It's probably not a cake.
If you see my book in the wild, please take a pic and send it my way! I've always wanted to see my own book in a store, but it's really hard to get international books in Indonesian stores- so it might be a while before I get to see that.
this book is really cute and recommend by me!!!
devoured within a single sitting bus ride; floral notes of yearning for something beyond one's self, with the delightful texture of multi-layered identities and the ways they intersect. the soft lighting and colorwork are always pleasing to the eye. j&c knocked it out of the park with their debut, and i am eager to see more.
Such nice words I'll cherish! I'm glad Lunar made that bus ride all the more delightful 🥰 excited to make more books for y'all!
