One of the best is 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi. It tells the story of a young girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It's a powerful and poignant exploration of identity, politics, and coming to terms with the world around you.
'Fun Home' by Alison Bechdel is also great. It combines memoir with themes of family secrets, homosexuality, and self - discovery. The detailed illustrations add depth to the complex relationships within the family as the author comes of age.
'American Born Chinese' by Gene Luen Yang is a must - read. It weaves together different storylines, including the experience of a Chinese - American boy trying to fit in. It delves into cultural identity, peer pressure, and the journey to self - acceptance in a unique and engaging way.
