Extremely cute. I loved all of the characters. Snapdragon is a great lead because she’s caring and adventurous and so open to everything going on around her. She’s so eager and it’s great.

This month I've been reading a lotttt of sapphic comics to recommend and highlight them on my page. This one was lower on my list, I had heard great things but when I sat down to read it, I really knew nothing about it. This story follows Snap, a young girl who doesn't fit in anywhere. She has her mom who raises her on her own and her dog. But when the neighborhood "witch" may finds her dog and takes him in, Snap must go rescue him. She makes a completely unexpected friendship with this lady and finds out some old history that ties her family story to this supposed witch. There are magical elements, there are endearing trans characters exploring identity for the first time, there is a sapphic story in the past brough into the present, and there's Snap, my fav protagonist I've met this month. Definitely give this comic a shot! It's a 5 star read for me.

Absolutely in love with this book 💚 it’s a coming of age graphic novel about family, identity, and even has elements of magic, mysterious creatures, and ghosts. Lots of great LGBTQIA+ representation as well.

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

'Snapdragon' by Kat Leyh is a heartwarming graphic novel about a young girl befriending her town's local 'witch' and discovering more about herself in the process. 
Snapdragon stumbles upon Jack, the local witch, and discovers that the older woman is far more than what the town has painted her as. She offers to take Snap under her wing and in the process, Snap learns about a connection between her own family and Jack. 
'Snapdragon' is a wonderful graphic novel that highlights Snap coming into her own through her friendships. Not only does she make friends with Jack but she also connects with another friend who she helps grow and accept more about themself. The art is fun and bright with great colors. This was a quick read but it's emotional depth resonated throughout. I cannot wait to read more from Leyh because it is clear they are great at creating an heartfilled story that deals with multiple topics with grace and care.

This book is such a lovely read if you're wanting something sweet and peaceful that you can knock out in a day. The art is great, the themes are lovely, and the pacing is perfect.
