Snapdragon is a delightful graphic novel!

I love the friendships! The characters are so loveable. 

I like that the author makes the point that just because someone dresses like a “tomboy” does not make them trans. But clothes can be used to make someone feel more like the gender identity that they align with. 

Baby opossums!!! A fox! One legged dog!

Ghosts, bones, roadkill, witches, magic

This is a very cute story that lightly touches upon homophobia and animal death. It does show depictions of deceased animals along a road, as well as various animals' bones. It also lightly touches upon a person discovering who they are as well as working towards healing familial wounds. The content tags appear rough but in general a child between the ages of 8 and 13 will be able to handle them, especially with post-reading discussion.

NOT ME CRYING BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT TO FIND SUCH A WHOLESOME, DELIGHTFUL STORY 😭

Picked this up as part of my Halloween reads. Ended up reading a wonderful story about queer love through the years, queer identity, the magic around us, and finding your own power 🥹🥹🥹

This was just so, so good. The art, the colors, the storytelling, the atmosphere?? I just loved everything about this 😭 I need to see more people talk about this book.
