R. The ultimate rejoinder to those asinine roundups about how to talk to your conservative family members about politics, Jacob's graphic memoir is a charming, moving account of what it's like raising a brown child with Trump-voting in-laws, of growing up as a dark-skinned Indian American in a white town, and of self-discovery and growth. —T.
