My Beijing: Four Stories of Everyday Wonder

In My Beijing: Four Stories of Everyday Wonder, writer and artist Nie Jun presents a warm, slice-of-life graphic novel collection from Lerner Publishing Group, following a young girl named Yu’er through the enchanting, everyday magic of her Beijing neighborhood. Through four interconnected tales, Jun’s soft watercolor art transforms ordinary moments—like a trip to the market or a visit with grandparents—into gentle, wondrous adventures that celebrate community and childhood curiosity. This single-issue work stands out for its lyrical, unhurried storytelling, offering a tender portrait of modern Beijing rarely seen in Western comics.
