The Legend of Auntie Po

Auntie Po, a warm-hearted graphic novel from Penguin Random House (2021–present), reimagines the Paul Bunyan legend through the eyes of a young Chinese American girl working at a Sierra Nevada logging camp in the late 1800s. Created by writer/artist Shing Yin Khor, this single-issue story blends folklore, family, and the immigrant experience with gentle humor and lush watercolor art. It matters as a tender, culturally resonant twist on an American tall tale, offering a fresh perspective on history through a lens of resilience and belonging.
