I liked seeing the progression of all Keonga’s relationships through the story and how the trees ended up becoming a constant motif of perseverance and growth. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim shows a whole new way to share stories through comics.

This is wonderfully researched and overflowing with folklore about the realm of Faeries. Both artists add their own flair to help us see a world that is often invisible, bringing it to life before our eyes. Highly recommend!

I really enjoy seeing Tillie Walden’s process and the things that have stuck with her and how she’s become the artist and author she is today.
