First, I must say that the art in this was wonderful. I love how the colors and movements of nature were depicted. Also, the art really highlighted the ways in which nature interacts with the characters.
That said, the story didn‘t blow me away. I would have liked more definition in the character development. ⬇️

psalva A lot of the backstory for Orla, for example, was hinted at but not fully explained. I do acknowledge that perhaps the style of storytelling just wasn‘t for me on that front. I will say, the relationship between Orla and Jo was really cute, and of course Sìth, the cat familiar, was a highlight. 2y

This was an affecting graphic memoir. It deals with the author‘s mom‘s dying from an aggressive form of cancer and the family coping with the situation. The author manages to depict their own coming out as genderqueer and not muddle the two subjects. The story is told chronologically, with short flashbacks in between. It highlights the humor and love shared among the family members, and their deep sadness at the situation. Subtle and remarkable!⬇️

psalva A note on the art- all of the people in the book are depicted as penguins and other varieties of birds. For me, I felt like this held a lot of symbolism, was cute, and also balanced the tone of the book. #lammys2023 #lambdaawards (edited) 2y
