Eddie dreams of becoming a cartoonist someday, but his parents don't understand his "scribbling." They wish he were more like his older brother, who always gets good grades effortlessly. On top of that, Eddie's dad won't let him forget how difficult it was to immigrate from Myanmar so he could give the family a better life in Australia.

Review Quotes:
"Funny, moving, and astute, Scribble is one of the most concise and heartfelt accounts of being a young artist I've read. Family and friends, fear and love, ego and embarrassment--it's all here. I found myself nodding with recognition all the way through." --Shaun Tan, Academy Award-winning filmmaker and author of The Arrival
