WHEN YOU RUN FROM YOUR MOM by Edmond Yang

A boy moves between two worlds that will not hold still at the same time, his mother's and everyone else's. He becomes her translator, then her defender, then the one who walks a few steps ahead of her so nobody sees them together. Told inside a miniature world of origami, with faces reduced to masks in black marker, "When You Run From Your Mom" is an adult's account of a childhood spent learning the wrong lesson very well.
