The author-illustrators bring their own fascinating culture into the future in this delightful middle grade graphic novel. Indu is found alone on a moon by an Indonesian astronaut who adopts Indu and supports him when he decides he's a boy. When they return to New Earth, Indu faces hard changes, including bigotry from his new classmates. But he also discovers new friends and allies, and that his adopted culture has a long queer history.

pickOoohhhhh, I needed that. 🥹 A beautiful story of diverse queer representation and self-acceptance. Addresses not just young people figuring out who they are in the sense of gender identity and sexuality and community/culture/language and mixed families, accepting themselves and being accepted by loved ones and community, but also leaving space for those who haven't figured it all out yet, 1/2
