Tidesong by Wendy Xu

Only show reviews with written explanations

Learning about magic + aquatic dragons + hot cocoa = Tidesong. This was such a fun graphic novel by Wendy Xu. If she sounds familiar at all it’s probably because you have heard of Mooncakes. This book totally gave me the same magic that Ghibili animation has. ✨ The weather in this story also reminded me of the storm in Ponyo, and I love how cozy that made this book.

First up, thanks to my hubby for giving me this as a bday pressie! Secondly, this was a gorgeous, stunning, lovely and magical graphic novel. However ,rating it a tad lower because of the Aunt, and Sophie's overeagerness/thinking she knows it all also didn't help at times.
