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.

I absolutely loveddd this!!! I’m 100% adding this to my graphic novel collection when I get the chance cause holy shit this was everything I look for in a graphic novel 
It had beautiful art, diverse characters, great character arcs, loveable characters, cute animals,  a super queer world and cast AND with older queer characters (which Omg that side plot made me tear up), super solid story and was long enough to flesh out not just the main characters story but also several side characters stories 
I desperatelyyyy want a sequel to this and just ugh loved literally everything about this
