The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt
5.0
Did I presume that a book titled "Sprite and the Gardener" would be a romance? Just a Bit... Was it? No?
I had so many different feelings while reading this, about possible underlying messages and wondering about flower types. But to cover all the things would be too much.
This book felt like it encapsulated the feelings I'd get while I was sitting on the rug while the teacher read books to us. It was so much like consuming a book when I was small; I found myself giggling and grinning from ear to ear. I don't think any book has touched those feelings in a long time. Suppose you need a bit of hope in your life, a look back to simpler times. This is it!
The art is gorgeous; the characters are so diverse. I don't think I had really seen a plus-sized Sprite/Fairy until I read this book. Growing up watching shows like Winx Club and Tinker Bell, I was overjoyed to see Sprites that everyone could identify with. Also, they are all charming.
On a slightly separate note: This book, at its core, is not letting an old form of art disappear, it made me think so much of the exchange of arts that I see on TikTok. Helping to spread the knowledge to help ensure that it doesn't disappear.
