- Inspiring story
- Shows themes of racism (having a new name given to him by a teacher to be more "American", getting fired from Disney due to protests he was not involved in)
- Main character gets put in an immigration detention center house while father passes through immigration without mentioned problems
- Main character is dynamic and strong and shows resilience and determination
- The artwork is unique and beautiful; really love the watercolor-type style
