It's a cute little book about mental health and confronting your problems like monsters. I loved the art setting. As an artist, seeing the technical terms and processes being used was super cool. The pictures are in shades of navy blue with red or pink in scenes with more intense emotions. This works great as a contrast. While I do wish the story was more colourful I understand the intention behind this choice, because mental health can sometimes feel like all the colour is drained out of the world.
The characters were cute, but at times felt a little flat or overreactive. Despite this I still enjoyed the reading experience. There were some moments where I felt more 3D elements and layers of meaning showing through, and those moments were very strong.
