The art is beautiful and gives the whole story a whimsical fairytale feel. I appreciate that the stories being told inside the story are in a different color- pink/red for the boy and his mother and purple/blue for the stories told within. This helped me follow the different stories better and differentiate between them. I admit I don't quote understand how all the stories told within relate to the boy and his mothers story but they were compelling and beautifully drawn.
