Good job saying “gay” right away. We are not a mystery to readers. This has a Miyazaki vibe, and the universe should will that into existence for everyone to enjoy!

this was way cuter and more enjoyable than I anticipated! the ending made me almost tear up, which is so rare for a graphic novel!

This story is so sweet and perfect. The illustrations are beautiful and each scene is set so well with the types of framing it includes. I loved the characters and the adorable, lovely story of Morgan and Keltie. I think the low-key nod to being aware of, and advocating for, our environment added nicely as well.
