The Sprite and the Gardener by Joe Whitt, Rii Abrego
5.0
Read via NetGalley
"In the distant distant past, sprites were the caretakers of life [...] ... until humans appeared."
The story starts with the sprite Wisteria joining a group of other sprites. She decides to go on an adventure in the nearby gardens, and stumbles upon one where a young girl is trying to freshen up her mother's garden to surprise and cheer her up.
The art style is adorable, the colours vibrant and the story very sweet! I would love to gift this to a friend's child.
The message of the story is that sometimes, asking for help is okay and working together can achieve great results. "I think, maybe, it's too much for either of us on our own. But together, I think we could do it!"
I enjoyed the fact that the authors have added a bit of the origin of the story and some sketches of the various characters! I love seeing how the characters design change!
