Make friends, eat pizza, and discuss this month's book club pick! This month, we'll be reading Trung Le Nguyen's graphic novel The Magic Fish. Check out a copy from the library or download it on Libby, Boundless, or Hoopla!

Plot summary

Real life isn't a fairytale.

But Tiến still enjoys reading his favorite stories with his parents from the books he borrows from the local library. It's hard enough trying to communicate with your parents as a kid, but for Tiến, he doesn't even have the right words because his parents are struggling with their English. Is there a Vietnamese word for what he's going through?

Is there a way to tell them he's gay?

A beautifully illustrated story by Trung Le Nguyen that follows a young boy as he tries to navigate life through fairytales, an instant classic that shows us how we are all connected. The Magic Fish tackles tough subjects in a way that accessible with readers of all ages, and teaches us that no matter what—we can all have our own happy endings.

Come with ideas on supporting the recovery community in regards to spirituality. Need presentations on what spirituality means and how we can further develope that in the community with resources and materials.
