Call of the Swamp | Davide Cali

3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read

A sweetly offbeat adoption story Boris is a normal kid: he goes to school and rides his bike and climbs trees, just like all the other children. It doesn't matter that he has scales and gills, or that his parents found him in a swamp when he was just a baby. But one day Boris catches the scent of his old home, and suddenly he's not quite sure where he belongs. He journeys to the swamp, filled with questions, and eventually discovers the only answer he needs. From the creators of The Queen of the Frogs comes an enchanting, nuanced story about adoption and family.

The illustrations in this book are amazing! The story is about Boris. His parents find him on the edge of a swamp and bring him home to be their child. But years later Boris feels a calling for the swamp. So he leaves home to find himself as he truly is. I can see this as a metaphor for adoption, or even for a trans child, but it‘s overt.The only thing that put me off, is that the story seems to end half way though, so the metaphor is not complete
