About Laura Gao:

Laura Gao is a queer artist, author, bread lover, and continental drifter. Originally

from Wuhan, China, Laura immigrated to Texas where their art career began by

doodling on Pokémon cards and has since blossomed to be featured on NPR, the

Museum of Chinese in America, and most notably, their parents’ fridge

 

About Messy Roots:

After spending her early years in Wuhan, China,

riding water buffalos and devouring stinky tofu,

Laura immigrates to Texas, where her hometown

is as foreign as Mars--at least until 2020, when

COVID-19 makes Wuhan a household name.



In Messy Roots, Laura illustrates her coming-of age

as the girl who simply wants to make the

basketball team, escape Chinese school, and

figure out why girls make her heart flutter.



Insightful, original, and hilarious, toggling seamlessly between past and present, China

and America, Gao's debut is a tour de force of graphic storytelling.
