In A First Time for Everything, DAN SANTAT’s parents send him on a class trip to Europe, in which a series of first experiences begin to change him, from Fanta to fondue to first love. In Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel by BETTY C. TANG, three siblings find themselves alone in California after their parents return to Taiwan, starting a new school, learning a new language, and trying to make new friends while keeping the family together.
