**Author:** Yao Xiao  
**Cover Image:**   
**Description:**  
_Everything Is Beautiful, and I'm Not Afraid_ perfectly captures the feelings of a young sojourner in America as she explores the nuances in searching for a place to belong.

Baopu is a monthly serialized comic on Autostraddle, and this book includes beloved fan favorites plus new, never-before-seen comics. This one-of-a-kind graphic novel explores the poetics of searching for connection, belonging, and identity through the fictional life of a young, queer immigrant.

Inspired by the creator's own experiences as a queer, China-born illustrator living in the United States, _Everything Is Beautiful, and I'm Not Afraid_ has an undeniable memoir quality to its recollection and thought-provoking accounts of what it's like to navigate the complexities of seeking belonging—mentally and geographically.
