I randomly saw this at my local comic book shop and decided to give it a read. It was so good! I loved it and now I’m thinking this could make a perfect Christmas gift.
My only qualm is that I wish she’d mentioned indigenous and pre-colonial conceptions of nature a bit more. The author is French so that probably limited her perspective but she has done a lot of research so I’m surprised that wasn’t something that came up.

Amazing! Not only was the art and zone super fun and cute- the content was so inspiring and informative!! I have so many things to subsequently read/research… I really need a kick start back into my environmentalist efforts cause it’s so easy to slack off when you’re not exposed to/consuming inspiring content like this. Off to garden now!

Guerilla Green is an enjoyable and entertaining primer on getting into urban gardening. It has interesting statistics, historical and contemporary examples, and advice on getting started. Anyone interested in what to do to help our society become greener and more sustainable will find a welcoming introduction here. The art is really inviting as well. I think my main issue was really just that she kept calling things "accessible" when gardening can be quite inaccessible to me as a disabled person--I'll be using other resources to figure out the best accommodations for myself personally. Overall though, this is a great place to start and I enjoyed reading it. Definitely recommended!
This book wasn’t what I was expecting but I love it even more now that I’ve read it. Going into it I thought there would be a realistic fiction plot, but it’s actually a non-fiction guide in graphic novel form. It’s so funny and the art style is beautiful.
There was so much information packed into this book, but it wasn’t overwhelming and it gave such a hopeful message. Throughout college (as an environmental conservation and sustainability major) I would be presented with a lot of daunting information and left feeling like there wasn’t much I could do about it. This book didn’t make me feel that way at all. I really admire the way the author delivered the facts while also explaining a lot of things that we can do as individuals with and overall theme of resistance and hope. It’s a great read for people interested in caring for the earth, whatever knowledge level they’re at. It’s easy to understand but also had things I didn’t learn in my four years of school as well, love that!!!
